MY Glorious Wonderful Summer Garden & Yard 2010


This old guy is part of my summer garden. My sweet husband waters everything each night.
Plus he takes time to work on his projects, laying cement etc. WHAT A GUY!




Would you believe these are potatoe blossoms? I didn't realize they were so pretty.
The squash blossoms and leaves are pretty also.


Those pole beans are a climbin.......


My little old knowl I brought back from Holland many years ago...his face turned brown...Odd..


Who's that flower under my arch???






WOW! The intense vivid colors are what I like the most. Maybe it's because I tend to get "intense."










Summer just doesn't last long enough. It is way TOO short!!!

This has to be the BEST year ever for the beauty of the yard and the produce from the garden!! It's just great to sit on the patio swing and look at everything. I am truly blessed.

Three day quicky vacation Relaxing and Fun

One day last week with just a two hour morning notice, Roger and I decided to take off for three days. We headed north and got as far as Coulter Bay in the tetons and spent an unforgettable night in a tent cabin. We had no bedding so we rented two sleeping bags and pillows. We kept the little wood stove going with two boxes of wood that we had to pay for. The cabin was two bunk beds with a thin mattress on top of hard metal springs. We finally ended up in the middle of the night putting all four matresses on the flour and sleeping on top of them. (Sorry no photos of the first night. I can't find them....so on to Yellowstone.....

It's still the same...with Old faithful erupting and hoards of people taking photos.


Same animals.......

Beautiful open praire spaces, lush, green, and inviting...


"Home, home on the range where the dear and the anelope play, where buffalo roam and..(you know the song and it fits here)This big old BULL Buffalo has almost shed its winter coat, just a couple of patches left.

Roger spotted a bear but he was shaking so bad, the photo is blurry, but you get the drift.



On the way home we took the back roads instead of the main highway. Its more interesting.




Bye for now until the next adventure....
