Our Garden

Summer is here!! And I have to say... we are knee deep in Squash right now. Zucchini, Cucumbers and Tomatoes are all doing good, but our Squash.... whew! I actually had a salad with no lettuce, just Cucumbers, Broccoli, with lots and lots of Squash.

Let me show you around our Garden..

This is the Garden. Everything is so green it's hard to see where it begins and ends, but believe me... it's there!

Here is Gracie showing you just how tall the corn has grown. Not quite ready for picking!

Ahhhh... Blueberries!

This is one of the first Blueberries of the season! YUMMM, can't wait for Blueberry Pancakes.

Well, I guess that Blueberry didn't make it long off of the bush. Looks like there are lots more on the way.

I'll post some more pictures once more things become ripe. We still have lots more blooming.

Have a great Summer!

Father's Day

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post a pic of the cute little candy bouquet I made for my husband for Fathers Day. Needless to say, he loved it! I saw it on another blog... I'll put up a link tomorrow (forgot where I got the idea from).

Happy Belated Father's Day, to all of the wonderful Dad's out there!

Mother's Day Gifts

Just wanted to share these cute little bags that I made for my Mom and my Mother-in-law for Mothers Day... ok, so I didn't actually MAKE the bags, but I did have the letters monogrammed and I did make the flowers.

(Sorry, please excuse the pineapple behind them. It looks like they are growing hair!)

Anyway.. I plan on filling one with goodies and the other with a plant! I hope they like them!

Happy early Mothers Day to everyone!

Anniversary!!

Today, my Husband, Scott, and I have been married for 8 years. WOW! I'm sure to some that is just a drop in the bucket, but to me it's amazing! Here are a couple of my favorite pictures of US...

We met in High School (this pic is from 1993, the year we graduated):

And many, many years later... we were married (2003):

And with the boss of our family, Gracie, in 2010...

Thanks for putting up with me! Happy 8th Anniversary!
