Pic Posting Mood . . .

Well, it is officially summer around here!! But with all the rain we've been having you think it'd still be April, but we're pressing on. . . because with the rain has brought (for the most part:) some beautiful summer color in the great out of doors!!

So sit back and relax with your fav drink of the summer . . . sweet tea . . . homemade lemonade . . Sonic ... OHH Sonic now there're an idea - okay I'm gettin' off subject - whatever coolness strikes your fancy and enjoy a few pics from our corner of this big 'ole beautiful earth!!
Okay, so these are in very random order . . .
This is our Swiss Chard. I wanted to grow some because it is soooooooo good for you. Well I tried it for the first time last night stir fried w/fresh garden Zucchini (thank you Dena and Brian my sis and B-I-L) soooooooo good let me tell ya ~~ over some brown rice. YUMMY!!

Front flower garden ~~ beautiful hydrangeas!!

Back flower garden ~~ Beautiful Shasta Daisy's . . . all this rain has been good for them!!
And the Lily's (same bed as the Shasta's . . . they hang out together!! :)
This is the good side of our garden :)
Hello BEAUTIFUL sunflowers ~~ my fav!!
There's tomatoes hidin' in them there plants hahahahaha :)
Ahh the garden taken from it's best side!!
Another sunflower ~~ yes they get a lot of air time!! Have I told you their my fav's? :)
Yep those are cherry tomatoes in there ~~ MMMM can't wait to pop one of those babies in my mouth!!

Okay now I told you that these pics were in here randomly ~~ this is what I found when I rounded the corner Sunday night ~~ my dear son sitting reading (fav past time ) and yes that is a bowl of pudding he made with his own two hands ~~ yep been teaching him a thing or two in the kitchen ~~ You go son ~~ you rock my world :)
Okay and here he is Monday helping me in the kitchen. He wanted to grill some burgers he saw on RR and since I'm all about it I said let's go baby boy!! So we donned our apons and away we went.
Oh the apron? Yeah one I made years ago. He put that baby on and wanted to know if it made him look fat. Too funny!! I told him he couldn't put anything on that would do that ~~ you could say he's a running twig~~ Yep that's my boy!!
Okay now the garden from it's not best side. You may be wondering what these are ~~ yep they are beans. They don't really resemble beans . . .
Because they cannot get big enough to produce beans ~~ silly rabbits beans are for people~~ really it's the rabbits!!

So I do realize that this was a whole lot of randomness, but just wanted to share some of our everyday with you. If you read this blog I just want to say thank you. I enjoy so many of yours. They really get me to thinking and praying . . . and listening.
Much love to all who take the time to pass by this way. I actually have a couple more pics to add, but I'm pretty sure that if you've made it this far you're slurpping the end of your yummy goodness you started with. . . :)
Thanks for reading,
Dawn

  2. WOW! Your garden is looking really good! I am doing some container gardening this year and I hope to put in some raised beds by next year. I need to try the Swiss Chard -- I love kale, spinach, collards, etc, but for some reason I've never tried Swiss Chard?!??! I'm not sure what it tastes like, but I know it is supposed to be very good for you. The hydrangeas are beautiful! They are one of my favorite flowers. Thanks for all the pics.

  5. I am always impressed by a good garden! I wish I had that ability. Some people have green thumbs, but unfortunately, I have a black one! On another note, I love that your son will cook. Good for him!
