TGIF!!

It's been awhile since I have written anything here, I guess you could call me a blogslacker, or maybe just lazy. Actually I have been quite busy, just not busy writing on my blog page. We started writing though for a website called ehow, http://www.ehow.com/. You are supposed to get paid for articles you write telling others how to do things. I have written two so far, one on how to make hummingbird nectar and one on how to start a blog page. Since I am such a pro at both, haha... So I am thinking to myself, here I am telling people how therapeutic writing is and how much fun blog pages are and mine is sitting idle in cyber space collecting cyber dust, so maybe I should dust it off and start writing again.

Summer is slipping away fast, already we are well into August. My lovely garden is showing it's age and slowly slowing down. Lots of tomatoes are still coming but the corn is mostly finished. All the squash got some kind of powdery mildew on it and had died off along with the cukes. I am starting to think about pulling out the dead stuff and adding some better soil into it for next season and tilling it as I empty it out to get rid of the weeds which have been a constant battle all season long. The flowers have been beautiful , huge tall Cosmos and Morning Glories grabbing a hold of whatever they can to keep climbing. The hummingbirds are loving it!

Also loving my garden is I suspect a hungry ground hog... he has been eating the tomatoes and stealing the corn. I see him in the yard almost everyday, but never in the garden so maybe I am falsely accusing him, maybe it's one of the cute little bunnies that hop around in the yard every morning. Luckily there is enough for all, I just picked almost 9 lbs. of tomatoes the other morning, pretty German Pinks, Yellow, and Mr. Stripeys. All delicious and wonderful for BLT's.

Yumm

So my plan is to come back here at least once a week add my thoughts and make this my therapeutic place to come...
