We didn't do much of excitement, other than working on our shed. We decided we had better get going on the floor & doors before winter is here. We've been on hiatus with the shed, just saving for it and the slower winter months.
So we have another well behind the shed. It was used for the barn well before, but we wanted to use it for the in-floor heat and a sink basin for the shed. So, we started digging to find the pipe coming off of it, headed for the barn...or so we thought.
We dug down about 4-5 feet on the side facing the barn. No pipe. Thank goodness for the backblade & bucket on our tractor, but the work was still tough. Using post hole diggers (hand ones)...we dug down below the pressure tank...no pipe. Did we really think these blessings of God's creation would do something as stupid as putting the pipe on the backside away from the barn? Surely no...well...after digging some more...yes they did. Thankful to have found it, we had a water fight to get rid of the sand and dirt, then we ran into the kitchen to slam some ice water and rest, Walter napping the entire time. Then we got showered & dressed to go to Menards to pick up supplies. We loaded our trailer with 8' of foam height for the floor. It was a funny but freaky driving back home. I think we got about 3 mpg.
Walter got to hang with Grandma Gert & Grandpa Gary and then when we got back, we went to my folks for dinner. Double dose of grandparents day, which was nice for him.
Walter's new things...he's mobile and constantly walking everywhere.
He's learned to say, "Baby."
The only way he's scolded for digging in dog food that works, is to make him have a time out in the recliner. He hates it and throws a fit. I hate to admit it, but it's kind of funny. I gave him his milk to try to calm him down, and he threw it, in defiance.
He is growing attached to one stuffed animal. A dog that you can record messages on. Ryan's dad got it for Walter for Christmas, so I don't know where/how to get a back up one. I guess we'll tackle that obstacle when we get to it.
Otherwise, not a whole lot going on. Just processing tomatoes. I've made 12 qts of soup, 19 qts of juice, 8 qts of salsa, and I still have more to process, but I've been keeping up really well.
More in the days ahead...
We played in the yard for a while, in the stuff dad had laying around. We also played in the garden, finding 12 yellow bells to cut up for winter. 
Walter didn't want to just dig into the cake. Ryan had to show him how it works and that it was okay to just get messy.
