We picked green beans today.

This week is our 25th anniversary.  My friend got us this bouquet, which has flowers like the ones in my wedding.

I will have some ripe tomatoes this week.

My husband likes to make waves in our pool.

Some of my tomatoes are growing really well.  This one is tall and loaded with tomatoes.  It's a san marzano which I really like for making spaghetti sauce.

I planted several different types of zucchini this year- varieties which are supposed to be resistant to powdery mildew.  They are just now producing zucchini, sort of late in the year.

My daughter was at the optometrist today.  Her prescription changed just a little.  She's getting a new pair of glasses since our insurance will pay for much of it.  I wonder if next year there will be new glasses designed to work well with masks.

We've got a lot of grapes coming.

We let some rye grow in the garden we gave up on this year.  It was ready so we clipped the heads off and put them in bags.  They're supposed to dry out for a couple weeks before we try and get the seeds out of the heads.

I took a picture of the comet NEOWISE.  The kids said they could barely see it, but I could not see it with just my eyes as it is very faint.  In this picture, it is center and about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the photo.  I also got a helicopter (white line along the tree tops), and the Big Dipper with a lightning bug inside of it.

My husband took one of the doors off the ice box.  The green under the hinges is it's original color.

My husband has been working on the little bulldozer.  It is run with belts.

July 13, 2020

We worked in the garden.  I got the bigger tomatoes staked. 

July 12, 2020

My potatoes are blooming.  It has a lightning bug on it too.

July 11, 2020

I found a lightning bug on my sage plant.

July 10, 2020

We plugged this in.  It works- and does not stop working.  It was below freezing when we unplugged it.

I'm getting tomatoes.  Hopefully we'll start getting some ripe ones soon.

July 7, 2020

I tried taking pictures of the lightning bugs.  There are a few in this one, in the middle left.  It's hard to get photos of them.

July 6, 2020

We got all the weeds pulled this evening.

July 5, 2020

We worked a little more on the potatoes.  We wait until it's in the shade in the evening and then pull weeds until the mosquitoes come out.

July 4, 2020

My kids made pictures with sparklers.  They were surprisingly good at drawing pictures in this way.

Most of the hay got baled.  He was nearly done before the baler broke.

July 1, 2020

We got some of the potato patch weeded.
