New Formations

Our sunflowers are huge. Tim is 6 feet tall and they tower over him.

There are several flower heads on each stalk, and have just begun to open up.

Jalapenos are my new must have in the garden. I've never grown them before, but we're enjoying them on sandwiches, steaks, omelets and everything else you could imagine.

The pumpkin plant is well on it's way.

And so is my corn. Daphne calls it the corn maze. I'm surprised that they're doing so well despite the patchy sun... I guess we'll see how much they actually produce in this spot.

A tinny watermelon starting to form.

And a spaghetti squash that will be ripe in the fall.

Something else I've been growing... apparently she's sick of saying cheese.

The Minami garden has now been renamed to The Jungle.

Produce Prep

Daphne likes washing the garden veggies. This is her new thing.

Some yellow tomatoes are finally ripening. And a new variety of yellow squash today. The bumpy ones.

Camping @ 38 wks Pregnant

Two more weeks until I have this baby. Oh baby. Camping at Oak Bottom and catching some fish while I wait.

Cousins Lily and Daphne fishing too!

My hubs, being manly and starting a fire.

Mindy cooked some amaaaaazing food and she has 3 kiddos. Amazing woman!

Beach time was fun! Whiskeytown Lake.

Phil caught some.

Phil and Carter tubing. Thanks Kevin for the boat rides!

More beach time.

Family camping trips are THE best!

Kevin taking a break from driving us all around in the boat.

Craig got some too!!

And that's a wrap. Goodbye and goodnight.

Yellow Squash

Harvested today.

More of the same as last time, but added yellow squash!

My helper.

Plums are in abundance right now. They are all over the side yard. Luckily, Daphne eats like 5 a day.
