Odds & Ends & Updates

Sophie is getting so big I can hardly believe it!

I don't think I have ever had a week go by between posts.  Well that must be how summer blogging goes.  I cannot believe July is here!

I know I have alot of updates, I told you a few weeks back that I was painting my bedroom and making my headboard.  I have the bedroom painted, but hubby has yet to do the headboard for me.

I will post before and after photos when that is done.

My grandpa is still hanging in there in hospice, stubborn as a mule.

Only God could turn his heart around, were still praying.

Remember I planted some flowers in May in my wagon?  I do have a photo of them now.

Ok, so the before photo wasn't that great!

The flowers are getting big! and so are my girls.

Also I have a couple before and after photos of my garden.

That was my loofa gourd spoon and my zucchini spoon.

I thought it would be fun to grow loofa gourd!

The zucchini row turned out to be way to small, so I transplanted them to the other garden bed.

This is the whole view of the garden, the two raised beds are in the back corner, someday I will have this whole area into a garden.  I am dreaming of many beds with flowers around the fence line and either pea gravel or bark o mulch in the walkways, with chicken wire to keep critters out and an old garden gate.

I am lucky that when hubby irrigates the coral my garden is watered too.

What I have growing are:

cherry tomatoes

zucchini

italian parsley

corn

watermelon

loofa gourd

beans

carrots

peppers

lettuce

There is so much more I would love to grow, but that is a good start for me this year.

I've never had a successful garden, so it's looking good.

What do you gals have growing in your garden this year?  Even if it's just a couple pots of herbs on your window sill :)
