More garden pics

Sweet corn

Green Peppers

Zuchinni...yummy!!! (fried of course)

My cucumbers and canteloupe

Unfortunately the blight has attacked my tomatoes and it appears to have got my cucumbers as well. (these pics were all taken before the "attack")

My garden

These are old pictures...so the corn has pretty much doubled in size

My lettuce...it was very tasty

My tomatoes...before they got killed by the blight (such a shame b/c they were so full)

The roma tomatoes before the blight.

Flowers

My mystery flower...I had this plant growing. It grew so big, and I was dying to find out what it was. It finally bloomed, so the mystery was solved.

I started all my flowers from seed, but they got mixed up and I couldn't tell what was what. This grew SO big and no one could seem to identify it for me. Not it has bloomed, and is continuing to bloom...I just LOVE it!!

This is to show you how big it has grown. It has taken over the side of the house, and even outgrew some of my sunflowers.

and something esle is budding.

my wildflowers are blooming as well. I planted a mixture for butterflies and hummingbirds.

I love my camera

While entertaining the Pumfords, Joseph and Mary saw this butterfly. I knew I couldn't get too close, so I just zoomed, and snapped away.

I love picasa too...and the fun effects it has.

Our buddy Dominic

Play time w/ Pumfords

Marianne did a room makeover for her parents, so I went over to entertain the kids for a bit.

We swam

and rode horses

and entertained little Dommy (Dominic)

James enjoyed the afternoon too.

We are still here

We have not fallen off the face of the earth. Sorry about the lack of blog updates. Life has been busy...REAL busy lately. I was in charge of a summer lunch program at the Church, so that took up the month of July, and the 1st week in August, which was also our Vacation Bible School. Got that over, and my brother came to PA for a visit, so spent some time with him, as well as a family reunion in there. Then left for a mission trip to Erie with Jude and the youth (and our girls). That went great besides the fact that Sarah got sick...miserable I should say. She got sores in her mouth that caused her to not eat or drink or take any meds b/c it hurt so bad. Not a pleasant time for Mommy and Daddy...I think we were the ones that needed the meds. :) Now we are home, Sarah is feeling better, still crabby, but seems to be on the mend. Problem is, now Mary seems to have it. She ran a temp off and on all day today and had a small sore in her mouth. We are just praying she kicks this quickly. We had planned to go camping at my brother and sister-in laws camp in a few days, but that is all on hold until we get our girls feeling better. (we did re-pack the camper this evening though, just in case...so we can just up and leave if we are all healthy) I can't tell you how badly we were looking forward to this time with them. We don't get to see them much, so thought this would be nice and relaxing.

So, no picture updates tonight, I was too tired to boot up my laptop and do that, so just gave you this instead. I do have pictures, just need to find a second to post them. Between laundry and holding cuddly girls (which I love that part) I haven't had a free second. And well, since I have one now, I think I will go to bed. I am lacking on the sleep part in my life.

Good Night to All!!
