A Garden Ramble

What follows will be long and quite possibly uninteresting for anyone not into growing food, but I wish to get a copy of my thoughts and observations of this growing season (as well as a few comparisons to others) in one place where I can refer back to it.  I mentioned before that I have not really allowed myself the joy of all the work we have accomplished so far because I am always looking into the future of "when it will be more like it 'should' be," and that can get pretty depressing.

(Funny side note, the above lines were written weeks ago. Alas. That is the way things go)

To battle the depression, I thought I would post some before and now pictures to truly get a grasp on just how much has changed. However, now the garden has changed even more and I need new photos. :P

(Extra Funny Side Note:  The above lines were written almost two months ago)

Let's skip the long and blather and just post some photos because I have another post I want to make.

Busy bees we've been.  I guess i fibbed because that was pretty long....

Happy Birthday to Me, another year

 Birthdays when you are young:

Let's do ALL the things and have a PARTY!

Birthdays when you get older:

Please don't make me do anything, and party, meh. Let's have cake and call it a day. 


:P

My husband kindly cooked lunch, took care of the kids, helped me water the garden and went to get pizzas for supper. That's a good birthday.

I got a dehydrator, which is happily drying some mirabelles now, and a really cool PetroMaxx cast iron loaf pan, which I will use soon, when the weather cools off.  Blessed lady, I am.
