Nilsson News

 Well, I'm sitting at home with Millie who has been sick since yesterday morning.  Henry started to complain that he didn't feel well either so we all stayed home from church.  What better time than to post on the blog?  I honestly don't have much to write about.  We are slowly adjusting to our school routine which has been good but on occasion it will be interrupted by more harvesting.  I love the fact that in Shelley, a small town just south of us, they cancel school for three weeks because so many people are involved in potato harvest.  There are a lot of potatoes around here!

Yesterday, we began demo on our garden.  It is so much work taking out all the plants!  I'm always amazed to see how much a plant can grow in just three months from an itty bitty seed.  The kids have enjoyed letting the chickens out everyday to allow them to scratch around in the garden.  We love these beautiful fall days!  

On Friday, we were able to go to the Pocatello temple open house.  It was absolutely stunning and I highly recommend you visit it if you can.  Earlier that day, Addy and I went with Ian and Elise on our fun annual outing to the Parade of Homes.  There wasn't anything too outlandish and we gleaned some good ideas like always.  When we were on our way home, Ian remarked that as pretty as those homes were, they paled in comparison to Pocatello temple.  We have to agree!  Hope you are all doing well and enjoy next week's General Conference!
