To The Garden We Go...

Like everyone else, I am trudging through the dog days of summer.  Gardening is funny.  My okra is doing nothing; my tomatoes are just now starting to blossom out.  However, our garden has exploded with a cucumber crop.  Here is Noah retrieving one.

Here are some small petunias that I always put in an old washtub so that they always have a source of water (in the bottom).  I have a pair in the front of the house.  They actually look better than this picture displays.

I am always updating something to the yard.  One of my new creations is a line from the kids tower to the kids playhouse.  This enables them to send mail to each other.  Occasionally, when the weather is nice they like me to send up lunch.  Each end I have enabled pulley’s so that a child can operate it from either end.  I mentioned to Anita that if the economy gets any worse, we can also use it for a clothes line.  She didn’t warm up to that idea, and the neighbors probably wouldn’t either.
