Haven't been here in awhile, I've discovered. After Dad passed away and dh was laid off, I guess I've been really busy with work and such to have much time for anything else.
We've been slowly putting up things from the garden and farmers markets in the area. We're going to work on sauerkraut tomorrow. We found a stone crock today at a flea market for only $28 dollars! YEA! We had my Mom's, but it was broken and not repairable.
Anyhoo~ speaking of gardens... look at these tomato plants that have went wild!
That's only 4 plants.... they are covered with tomatoes and we have a few more plants in the garden area! (I turned all my flower beds into "food" areas this year.) There's mustard greens under there as well as a cucumber plant (dogs trompled the other 3 before we managed to get the "stakes" in place) and some radishes....
Here's my big ol 178 pound Great Dane next to the plants.
I also tried my hand at making the top for our patio swing. It turned out ok, I think. But I won't bore anyone with a picture of that one! LOL!
We have the pool up and ready for kiddos to jump in and have fun, and frankly, the water is just a bit chilly for me, so I do "house" things. Things I would rather do anyway at this point in my life!
We're heading out in a couple of weeks to Colorado to be there while our grand daughter is born, and help our dd out a bit. Can't wait to see her, but frankly, I'm dreading that drive already! LOL!
Well.... enough rambling... soy milk is about finished and dh is already in bed, so I'd better get myself in gear, as they say...
Hi sweety! My tomato plants are all wild too, but producing nicely. My husband is currently "laid off", which in self-employed talk means he's in between contracts. Never fun, but just the way it goes. Take care and have fun on your trip!
