We had a very busy week with doing lots of beans. They were beautiful long straight beans. We got 45 quart this week and it looks like there are plenty left for next week. I froze all the beans this week and next week I hope to can some. We also spent a lot of time on the road as we traveled back and forth to the city for summer Bible School. We have an hours drive and we needed to be … [Read more...]
Enjoying the Flower Gardens
I love spending my evenings relaxing and enjoying my flowers. That means walking along and pulling a few stray weeds also. The Phlox are starting to bloom and also the pink bee balm.

The purple coneflowers are nicely showing their blooms also and look lovely with … [Read more...]

I enjoy taking my walks at sunset since we cannot see the sunset … [Read more...]

Oh, yes, he has lots of weeds and he just chops them off with a weed eater every spring before he starts over. I … [Read more...]
Vintage Flower Pots
I really enjoy collecting vintage pots and adding flowers to them. This spring I collected quite a few pots and tins as I was going to have lots of beautiful flower pots sitting around. I now have 20 some filled and I have lots of pots left. I guess next year I can fill different ones or maybe I will get some cheap flowers from the neighboring greenhouse when they are ready to close. My … [Read more...]
