OHHH Dad

My Dad has been known to have a funny saying or two . I was just sitting here in the kitchen at my parents house as my Dad looks out over his corn field. "Bonnie, how long has the water been on that corn?" Mom - " OHHH 4 hours". Me " Whoa, I ain't never watered my garden that long." Dad, " That garden was dryer than a popcorn toot" WHAAAAAT??? gotta love that Ray Anderson - Right!!!!

Love Birds in my Garden

I've been in a blogging slump lately! Sorry! I have pictures of my daughters 8th birthday and her baptism and the dress that I will blog about soooon. But today I wanna share with you something that doesn't require as much thought. My crazy garden. I'm super excited, you see, this is my first garden and I think its amazing.

My whisky barrels are very happy too!

This is just a random shot of some lovely flowers but its the vase that has me swooning. Thank-you very much Savers! Who would get rid of such a thing - NOT I!

Alright, now lets talk about the garden. Here we have my tomatillo plants. So exicted to use these in some Mexically dish.

This garden holds my peas which are still producing in this heat. There is also lettuce, spinach, green beans, carrots, zinnas & the Mr's Butternut squash.

AHHH, I bet you were beginning to wonder why I said there were love birds in my garden. Can you spot them now! How funny is that. Amazing I tell ya- I not only grew some mighty tasty carrots but I have some lovebird carrots of the entangled variety.

Here's a shot of the other bed. This one holds 4 tomato plants, 2 tomatillos, 4 peppers, many onions & those gorgeous Zinna's.

Can you see Jared's beloved Butternut Baby! He checked on it at lunch today. YUM!

Gardening is so rewarding. I feel self sufficient, obedient & blessed.

Love you all,

p.s. come see me the tomatoes are turning RED - BLT anyone?

AWWW Those Summer Days!

Son, you might kill me when your 12 for posting this but I'll take that chance.

I just happened to glance into the living room as I walked past and this is exactly how he was laying on the chair. What's a boy to do with two older sisters leading the way.

He also peed on the shower curtain today sooo I think that about balances it out - don't it!

I love you Zandy-man.
