Garden Goodies

Posted on 9:00 PM by jimmy

Good Thursday Evening!





I thought I would share a few photos from the garden...it's still hanging in there, even with the lack of rain...




(We actually got about 5 minutes worth of raindrops today, but I don't think they disturbed the dust too much...)





We have an abundance of squash and tomatoes, although the Cherry and Roma vines (in a separate raised bed) are practically dried up...and we have been watering and watering...it must be the extreme temperatures...:^(

'Maters like heat, but even they have their limit, I guess...





Last year we had tomatoes through October, but I don't know if we'll be as lucky this year...you can water, but there's just not much a person can do about the heat...





Today set another record for the date, at 101...so far, the highest it's gotten is 108.

I thought the squash looked so pretty in this vine-y basket...and the one little Cherry tomato...he looks like he's out-numbered, but holding his own!

This was the first time I've tried the PicMonkey collage (don't you love PicMonkey?...my girls laugh every time I say it...) ~ anyway, it was very easy... easier than Picasa, I think ~ fewer steps.


Fun, too!





I can't believe how fast this week...this summer...is flying by!





Personally, with temperatures like this, I'm looking forward to the cooler days of fall...


and I'm being very thankful for central air-conditioning...


(How did we survive??...sticky nights...a little oscillating fan...a mosquito in the room (or several...that managed to get in around the window screens...ugh, I'm itching just remembering)...counting my blessings now!)





Have a wonderful Friday, all...


 I hope everyone who needs it gets rain!
