Garden on the grow

The summer is rapidly coming to a close! Part of me is excited to be rid of the heat and part of me wishes we had a few more months of nice weather to garden, take photos and just be outside, in general.

I’ve just been too darn busy. However, I did get these fun shots around the property… The one to the left is just a quick snap of our garden this summer. Some zucchinis, squash, beans, onions, cilantro, cucumbers, tomatoes, peas and sunflowers on the grow… and even some surprise gladiolus and potatoes that I’d tossed in the compost last winter..!

Do you spot the Spot snoozing with the baby?

The sleeping babies! This was the first night that I found the kitten (Spot) sleeping with the crib with the baby (Brynn)! It’s a pretty regular occurrence of now, though sometimes Brynn wakes up scared that there’s “a train a-comin’. ” I’m guessing maybe because of the purring? Who knows..!

Something fun to do when you've got a large crop of dandelions

And last, but not least… the result of being outside when one does not wish to be outside, as in when a child wants to play outside but you don’t want her to be out there alone. Anyway, who says that dandelions are a useless crop?

Have a happy rest-of-the-summer and don’t forget to be creative with any boredom that presents itself!
