I said last week, before we left for a few days away, that I had so much that I've been wanting to blog about - if only I could find the time!  Isn't that ironic?  When I do have the time to blog, I can't seem to think of a thing to say!  We've got lots of pictures from our adventures over the past week - I just need to take the time to load them up to my Photobucket account so I can start sharing them.

In the meantime, to hold you over, I thought I'd talk a little big about Brian's garden...
This is what it looked like at the beginning of summer:

The goal was to take pictures of it throughout the summer, but we just never  got around to it.  I'd like to show you what it looks like today!  Wow!  Let's just say it's a good thing we live in an old house, complete with a cold cellar, because we need a place to store all the potatoes!  And corn ... we've frozen 24 bags that we'll enjoy eating this winter.  And my favorite part of the garden:

Aren't those just the prettiest peppers you have ever seen?!  And look how nicely they coordinate with my countertops and my canisters!  I almost didn't want to cut them.  But, I did - and I've got bags and bags of sliced peppers in the freezer (this picture was just one of the many batches of peppers we have picked this summer!)

Have you been gardening this summer?  Tell me about your garden and your favorite thing to plant.

We had a nice garden this year that produced lots of beans, tomatoes and onions. We had a few peppers and currently are watching the development of 6 very happy pumpkins. We love the tomatoe sandwiches the best.
Blessings,

I see, so have you picked a peck of pickle peppers or is that you peppers a pickled peck of pickles? Yes, they are quite lovely-only thing we grow here is rocks! And lots of em. Big rocks, little rocks and even some fossilized rocks. Not good for eating. Please pack your pickled peppers and parcel post them to me :0)

Have a great weekend ahead!

WOW!!! That's great. I have had a hard time with our garden because it was cold here for so long and I don't think we saw the sun for the whole month of June and half of July. It is picking up now but still behind.
