Just before the rains . . .

I got these beauties!

My goodness those pink petals 

and that blue, blue sky

 and the green, green, green!

Have I mentioned what a true miracle it is that I get to live here?

God Is So Good!

More greens!

Spinach to be precise.

Oooo...Oooo...You've gotta...

Any way...back to the program...

I put it and shredded carrots in my ramen noodles tonight.

Yep...ramen noodles...hahaha!

So far, from the various gardens throughout the yard, I've used dill and chives (in a scrambled egg/sausage mixture last weekend) and the spinach tonight. Today I bought what I think are the last of the veggie garden plantings. Here's this year's list to the best of my memory...I kinda went crazy with some seed planting this year, we'll see.

And that whilst doing things like up on the roof last week roof cementing some leaks and cleaning gutters, working, cooking, being mom, getting walked by the dog around the yard and neighborhood, and trying to talk myself into swimming again, and maybe cleaning my bedroom! 

Sometimes I crack myself up!
