My Incredible Edible Garden

I LOVE my garden!! Everyday it grows and amazes me in doing so. I'm up to ten big beautiful sunflowers. The first one that bloomed about a week ago is losing it's pedals (sad).....new ones are opening every day. I have some gourds or squash, they are getting enormous. I thought they would ripen closer to the fall so I could use them in my fall decorating. I probably have 50 pumpkins in various sizes and colors. Funny that I am already thinking about my garden next year! This has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in my life. It's totally amazing what can grow from one little seed. Tomorrow I'll post some photos of my cucumbers that are now "pickled"!

MY TRAVELS

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE to travel. Short trips, long trips, far trip, near trips, I love them all. I always keep a suitcase near by. This year started out with some training in New Orleans. I love the history in New Orleans and the people. I also got to go to Washington DC and I have to say it was a humbling experience. I had been there in 1979, and seen allot, but I really took advantage of this opportunity. On to New York with my sister Susan....We hit 2 Broadway plays, Rickshaw ride around Central Park, Rock on the top, great food. I loved it all, I even got to go thru Boston (had to say that) and count it on my state list! Yes I keep a list of the states I have been in. Lake Powell was a first with grandkids and young nieces and nephews. Mom was there and a great sport as always. And last but surely not least San Francisco. I can say that I love San Francisco and really feel at home there. In my next life I'm going to request going there!
