Rainy Day Photos

I'll never catch up with the photo posting if I keep forgetting to do it!

Anyway, as you may or may not know, John and I always plant a pretty substantial vegetable garden every year. It's even more impressive when you consider: 1) we have very little yard space in our back yard (it's mostly deck) and 2) we have SO MANY shade trees back there - including a black walnut tree, which is "poison" to most plants.

right now we're at the point where we pull stuff off almost every night for dinner - two different kinds of tomatoes (big boy and cherry), three different kinds of peppers (cherry bombs, banana, and bell), eggplants, and green beans. We also planted zucchini and snow peas, but the snow peas were destroyed by a critter and the zucchini (like last year) just didn't do anything. We had great success with zucchini the first year, so we're a bit confused by two failed years in a row. But. Meh.

Anyway, that's today. Back in June, stuff was just started to grow with all the rain, and I got some photos of some leaves, the hostas, and a few little green tomatoes!

*drool*

That's potato salad there. Om nom nom.

SCREWS!

Above was me playing with my macro lens. To give you an idea of how tiny those screws are, the magnet they're attached to? It's about the size of a dime.

Wet on black

Just some drops

This is what summer looks like

Green Tomaters.

Finally, I can't remember, did I post a photo of my new short hair? This is right after I got it cut the first time, but the second time I asked for it even shorter. I love it!

Less hairs than before
