kitchen garden

 Our little kitchen garden:

Baby watermelons!

And this is how they look 2 weeks later:

We have now transplanted them into the big garden so they can grow watermelons this summer!

Basil planted:

one week later...........it's up!

Our "maters" are doing great so far!

So are the peppers

Accidentally broke one of my favorite bowls.....it's okay....I just tucked it into the garden.

Above...some of the first summer's four 'o clock blooms, I love them so much!

Do any of you enjoy looking the seed catalogues?

I love to look at them.....so many colorful pretty flowers!

So many to decide from!

below, this is a little red bud tree a friend gave us. We hope to get it planted soon.

And below... we have one moonflower out of all the seeds we planted! LOL, hopefully there will be buds and blooms soon. It's twining around and up nicely.

Hope your week has been great. It's HOT HERE, but just about every day we have a late afternoon summer thundershower. We enjoy them, especially on the porch. We've been getting some BIG thunder and lightning though!

4th of july

 

Merry merry 4th of July, y'all!

This time of summer I pull out my red/white/blue hair bows! LOL

Tracie and Amybelle send happy summer wishes!

so does Tansy!

Even with the HEAT, love this time of summer! Our sunflowers have finally bloomed!

I just love studying how each big flower blooms out

And we have rainbows of four 'o clocks in bloom

And it's Pepper time!

I've been busy processing and freezing peppers

Awwwww, they smell SO GOOD!

Enjoying blue summer skies:

watching birds:

are they talking to each other? LOL

Good things grown:

and watching things grow. Below are our baby watermelons:

the farmer's fields of corn are big and tall now:

And some have even put up their first hay:
