Taking a Break

IMG_3263Everything is fine and we’re all healthy, but I need to take a break for a few days. I’ll be back blogging when I can.

Meanwhile, you can enjoy the beauty of my 1st squash harvest of 2014.
For my newer blogging buddies & readers, the round squash are my favorite variety to grow.
These pretty ones are called ‘1 ball’ squash. In my opinion they have the best flavor of the round squash variety.
Along with their mighty good taste, I enjoy that they’re quite cheerful looking growing in the garden or picked and setting on a table.

Okay folks, I need to go for now.
Ya’ll take care and have a wonderful week.
See ya soon!

After the storms left, I spent a great deal of time outside. I took a lot of photos.

After the Storms

6-6-2014-IMG_2591Our area has been hit by some storms the past couple days. Today is beautiful and the sun is shining. The clouds are amazing. It’d be a good day for lying on a pallet and watching the clouds change shapes. In the middle of my above photo, that’s a real heart shaped cloud that was hanging in our sky. It made me smile and I knew I had to share it with you all.

I went to our garden and checked to see how much damage was done by the heavy winds and rain. I’m happy to report that our garden is in good shape, other than a few stalks of corn leaning half over. The corn stalks should stand back up over the few days, so all is well with them too. I’m hoping within the next couple weeks, I’ll get to harvest a mess of fresh squash. I can hardly wait. Yum!

Wishing you all a great weekend of smiles & fluffy clouds!

Blackberry Winter & Misc

IMG_0970I hope everyone had a good week. We’ve got colds here at my home. I’d hoped we were over that for the year, but oh well…

IMG_0898Blackberry winter has arrived. The temps get down into the low 40’s. That’s not too awful, but we got spoiled real quick to sitting outside enjoying the 70’s and the 80’s tempperatures.  It’s annoying that we need the heat on again.

IMG_1327My Basil isn’t doing well, most of it got bit back from the cold. I usually don’t have a problem during Blackberry with my porch garden. I guess where my basil was sitting there must’ve been an extra cold spot or something. Bummer dude!

IMG_1302The Baby Bunny living under our porch Something keeps chopping our Gerber Daisies to pieces. I’m going to surf around and see if I can find a deterrent. I don’t want to hurt whatever’s doing it, but I do want it to stop.

IMG_1319I started a new crochet blanket project with my shades of purple yarn. I didn’t get very far on it before I got sick. So, I’ve put it away until I’m well again.

And so it goes for me at the moment.
Time to go back to bed and wait for the cold to pass. t2513

I hope you all have a pleasant weekend!
