Hannah's new style

A new hair color and cut for Hannah
 
 
The red is gone.  If you missed the red....... you are lucky.

Sarah's Vegetarian Adventures

Spinach Mushroom Lasagna





Not too bad. Sauteed the sliced mushrooms before putting them in. I didn't think the jar of sauce would be enough so I made my own white cheesy sauce to add to it.  Wish I had just used my own sauce and skipped the jarred sauce. Also need to remember to allow it to cool a bit before slicing.

Some Cricut Love

I made Sarah a book bag today using my cricut to cut the letters. I am very pleased by the results.



My inspiration came from Courtney Lane Design

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary How does Your Garden Grow.........

End of June and it is HOT.  Currently 118 degrees today and I expect it to get a couple degrees hotter.
 Garden is starting to struggle a bit.  Really wilts down in the midday heat and it is so hard for me to get out and water midday.

 After taking this pic I looked over at kitchen table and there are twice this many tomatoes in another bowl
 Basil
 Wish  child would have stood in the corn for this picture.
 Eggplant
 I just do lousy at green beans.
 The okra has started off lousy this year.  I have tried seeds and plants. Everything has wilted and dies and this is all that is currently left.
 Finally some okra blossoms.
 Ihave never tried onions before.  I picked up a package of onion sets from the store that looked half dead and I didn't expect to have any results.  Except for the fact that a dog has walked thru them they have done well. 
 Another squash plant. Looks like I will have some small white patty pan squash soon.
 Peppers
 Redneck trellis with cucumbers on both sides and tomatoes on both ends.
 Yello squash peeking out.
 Massive tomato monster.  Yellow pear tomatoes grow massive and they are very heat tolerant.
 Yellow pear tomato, pulling trellis over.
 Yellow squash

Sarah High School Graduation Pics.....

Sarah is much more of a ham than Hannah so I have quite a few more pictures of her......







Hannah's 8th Grade promotion....

The last kiddo leaving grade school.  We will officially have two freshman next year.  A high school freshman and a college freshman.



Stinker never once looked towards the camera during promotion.

Graduation.....

What an incredibly exciting day.  Hannah's eight grade promotion in the morning.  Sarah's graduation in the evening.  Stacey and Wyatt here to visit. We haven't seen Stacey for years and this is the first time we got to meet Wyatt.  It turned out to be a great visit.  Wyatt bonded with his grandpa immediately.

Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow......

My motivation to have a great garden this year 

Scrawny little beginning

Looking good!

The first two garden beds, built last year.

Whats that I spy, a brand new third bed this year. Please don't notice the nasty lattice. I can't keep it clean with the water hose splashing it all the time.  

Very hard to tell from this picture but there are nine okra plants popping through the soil.  

First section of corn. We are staggering the plantings so we won't be bombarded all at once.  

Cucumber plants beginning to grow up my redneck trellis. Two more tomato plants here and swiss chard just beginning to pop through the soil. 

Older picture, beginning of some great tomatoes.  

These are the same tomatoes.  Will have to anchor the trellis a bit better soon.

These pictures do not do the garden justice.  I have a section of green beans just popping up and two eggplants as well.
