Hello WORLD!

2 weeks without a computer = SLOW torture. I never realized how much I love a little thing called the Internet. The only problem is, now that I have it back, I cannot remember why I needed it so much. Facebook updates? Depressing news stories? Nie Nie Dialogues? I was really better off without them! Although I do love Google--I. LOVE. GOOGLE. I can't live without that one.

So, update? I added some picks to the last post. Cute first day of school & sick Jenna...so check those out...what else? 

 

GARDEN update! This garden thing is frustrating. After a summer of watering, feeding, weeding, nurturing--Now that it is finally starting to pay off--I am so sick of looking at it I can hardly bring myself to harvest anything! My cherry & pear tomatoes went CRAZY about the end of July and took over the entire garden. We have cherry tomatoes coming out our ears and just in time for the whole family to collectively decide they hate cherry tomatoes. But I have LOVED my big tomatoe plants and have already done 2 big batches of chili sauce.

I also have had TONS of zucchini and cucumbers. I've grilled, sauteed & baked enough zucchini for a life time. We did get 2 great watermelons which was a very pleasant surprise, Oh and about 5 green beans a day--seriously, no more than 5.

The real surprise was my much anticipated sunflower garden. It was A LOT of growing for a very small *blip* at the top, and the giant sunflowers only bloom for a couple days before falling over with the weight of the sunflower seeds. It was very pretty for about a week but I'm not to sure I will do it again.
