June 30, 2011 IN THE GARDEN

Looks great but no food yet because it has been so cold and rainy - in fact it rained all day on Tuesday June 28!! I actually harvested the first zucchini yesterday.


I had no idea that nasturtiam was so sturdy and prolific. It is planted here on t really cool trellis with some cucumbers. These are the happiest cukes I have ever grown. The trellis is an idea from Suellen Winegar - it is foundation mesh and we had to buy it at Concord Feed where they sell it for cow fencing.


The thornless black berries have been competing with the natives so we tried to cut back all of the stickery ones this year. They are both excellent berries but I really don't like the thorns.


This is supposed to be a pumpkin but I have no idea what kind it is.

Father's Day 2011 -what!! No Mother's Day?

This is the tie that Sydney made for Jim when she was about 10?? years old. He still wears it every Father's Day. She never perfected the tie making after that but has great potential.

PROM April 2011

The pictures are self-explanatory. Sydney went with Mitchell Larsen and Mykaela went with E or A, can't remember who is who.

April 2011

Sydney and I drove to San Diego for Spring break. She stayed with Mykaela and her family in a beach rental and I stayed with my dear friend Mary. It was so good to catch up and get away for a few days. The San Diego temple is so beautiful inside. It rained while we were there and this rainbow appeared out the back door of Heather's rental - breathtaking!
