First, the obligatory baby pics:
On her last visit, Grandma Kaye brought a car-(non)walker-bouncy contraption. Josie’s getting pretty good at sitting upright these days, so I crammed her into it the other day to see what she thought of it.
Hmmm… Assessing the layout.
Hey! They actually left the keys in it for me!
Wait a minute… I can’t get my stinkin’ arms out, for Pete’s sake!
Maybe I can eat my way out.
Did ya find that amusing, Mom? Well. did ya, punk? Just wait ’til you see what I just left in my diaper for you! Bwahaha!
And now for a little garden porn, starting with an assortment of summer squash.
A couple of chiles and tomatoes.
A few bush beans.
Cukes and pole beans getting ready to start climbing the arch trellis.
Some more pole beans in the wellhouse garden, along with some carrots, lettuces, garlic, and onions.
It’s been a horrible year to have a garden so far. All of the rain killed off half of the garden and stunted the rest. I had to replant most of it but it’s finally starting to take off. We’ll see how much we get before the heat shuts it down for a mid-summer break.
A cactus bloom, starting to close for the night.
A local farm store was clearancing out their plants so we got a buttload of plants for next to nothing. I squeezed the little ones into the chicken house flower garden, in between marigold & zinnia seedlings and a crazy assortment of bulbs.
And 85-90 one-gallon pots of dwarf sunflowers. Each pot contains, on average, four sunflowers. No, I have no idea what we’re doing with them but, hey, all of that potting soil and really sturdy pots for a few cents? I’m not complaining.
