Random stuff....

I promised a picture of the new young lady in Adam's life that is bringing him home to Texas more often. I think she's a doll!I ran across this photo the other day. Thought I'd share it with you. This is my daughter wearing my wedding gown & holding the veil. She found it in the closet and wanted to try it on. It's a perfect fit! Just don't notice the other kids laying on the couches, the fan in the floor and the half of a dog in the foreground. Oh yeah, the TV.This is a random shot of the side of what was once an old sand floor garage. We're using it for storage right now. We plan to pour a concrete floor in. We started to take it down and build a new metal building for a garage, but couldn't bring ourselves to do it. I'm planning a flower bed along this side with daylilies, roses and blue plumbago. I love perennials. I think the oranges of the lilies will look good with the rusty old roof. That roof still doesn't leak...A few shots of my garden (again- ya'll gettin' tired of it?) Shed in the background, sunflowers on the back right, potatoes on back left against the picket fence, corn in front of potatoes, zucchini in the foreground and peppers just the right of those.

CAn you see the tomatoes peeking out from under the leaves? So far so good this year. Last year, I found ONE of those huge light green caterpillars eating his way through one of my plants. Squashed him good! So far, none this year. Below are some green beans about ready for picking. I am trying something new to me this year. I'm staggering planting times for the green beans and peas. That way, they won't all be ready at once and I can harvest and put away in the freezer at 2 different times.

Ok, here's something I thought I'd try - I thought it'd be too hot here in Texas, but so far the broccoli is alive and kicking. I've got several plants and they all have some big heads of broccoli in them almost ready for picking. This is an older picture where they're still kinda small. Also, I had a problem with something eating the leaves, but fortunately sevin dust has taken care of that.

I'll leave you all with a couple of shots of the afternoon sky last week while I was weeding. I was hoping for rain, but we didn't get any at my particular location until a few days later. There were storms blowing up all around us - to the north, to the east and to the west. It was beautiful, it was windy, it was cooler, it was humid, there was lightning and thunder, but not a drop at our farm that day. I sure enjoyed watching the sky tho.

There's nothing like a stormy, cloudy sky to make one feel so insignificant on this big ole earth. And when the sun is trying to peak through amidst all that wonderment, it makes me think that heaven is coming down and the light of the Lord is shining on my face!

Til next time, take care my lovelies!
