Veges for everyone soon

Not quite enough to share yet, but it looks like most everything will be ripe at the same time.  Ann was right, I put too many tomato plants in my limited space.  It's a jungle now but we're getting lots of cherry toms and picked our first normal size tomato today.

Lemon cukes are delicious and I'll have way too many very soon.

Our first eggplant.  Fried it, of course and it was delicious.

 Used these to make an eggplant agrodolce, also excellent.

Chillin

Great to have our son and friend Landon here for the Memorial Day weekend.  They floated the river and did the local music venue.

Memorial Day

What fun to celebrate the holiday surrounded by family and friends.  Other than the AC breaking in the late afternoon and scrambling to find someone to fix it on a holiday weekend, all went well.

Every Man Should Own a Deere

Exciting day around here when we got the opportunity to buy a riding lawn mower that had hardly ever been used from our next door neighbor.  It's been a dream to own a John Deere that's now been fulfilled.  Check one off the bucket list!

 

 Too bad it had issues from sitting unused for so long, but they are now resolved and the grass is shorter than ever.

The Closet

We gave up 2 feet of great room space to gain a new closet, a display space and a flat wall for hanging a barn door.  This was dead space anyway and it gives us much needed storage.  

We'll be painting this new area and the great room next.  I'll post pictures of the finished area after we complete the painting.  

A visit from the big O

No, not Oprah!  We had fun, visited a winery, ate lots of great Italian food, got him to help mount the flat screen TV in the bedroom and fixed the tears in his Biminey (sp?) cover.  It was a good weekend.

Carl the snake

Only our son will get the title.  For the rest of you, there was a coral snake found in our neighbor's yard today.  They are very poisonous.  My DH made me look at it so I would know what to watch out for and I may never walk around the yard in flip flops again. 

 It took all my courage to put my finger next to the dead snake so you could get an idea of the size.  Very Scary!
