Seeds soaking... soon became yummy!

They decided to taste the pumpkin. Raw pumpkin. Yuck.

First Roll Developed At Home!

I took one giant leap back into the world of "do it yourself" developing this past weekend. It's been almost 10 years since the last time I dipped my fingers in the chemicals. I had been slowly acquiring the utensils needed, and then the chemicals, and then we took a walk through a park. Poof, thirty minutes after dipping the roll in the soup, we have photos. It's a magical and wonderful experience. While I know the images are not perfect, and the developing is not masterful, I must say, I'm quite proud of this "first shot" at doing it myself.
