How does your garden grow... and this and that....

Hello my friends. Thank you for your posts after my husbands scare a couple weeks ago. That same evening started my husband's 2 week vacation so needless to say I think that night brought a lot of things in perspective and the little things suddenly didn't matter. I can't really explain what transpired but it seemed to change us both. Although it thankfully was just a threat, just knowing it could have been real seemed to bring us closer together. We really had a great two weeks together. We've been married 26 years and I hate to admit it but we really had fallen into a rut.. now we are making plans to travel and do things together... driving as much as possible :)

I just dropped him off at the airport again yesterday so I have this week to get back to my crafting.. woohoo! I'm going to do some blog hopping and then bury myself in my sewing room and see what I can come up with. I do want to show you this awesome pull down desk that I picked up at a roadside yard sale I found for $25.. needs some TLC but I've always wanted one.. I'll post a pic of it for you tomorrow because it's out in the shop and it's kinda drizzling a bit out there so I can't get my tootsies wet.. lol. I don't know what it's really called, it's one of those dresser type things with a pull down writing desk. I just love those! That was the first time hubby said I got a good deal.. lol.

My garden is coming along pretty good. So far I've made 2 loaves of zucchini bread, canned 9 pints of salsa and 3 pints of pizza sauce. I haven't canned in ages but I am determined that I am going to use/save as much of this years bounty as I can. I'm getting about a handful a day off my blackberry bush so I'm saving them until I have enough to make some blackberry jam.. yum. Here are a couple pics of the garden...

don't know why this pic is so small.. lol.. but this was my bounty this morning.. I picked all the big tomatoes that were ready yesterday for my sauce..

And lastly.. I just love it when my grandson takes his own photo with my phone. It's like a little treasure to check it out after he leaves and see what he's managed to capture.. this he took of himself last friday when I watched him.. look at those lips!!! I just want to smoosh a bit ole kiss on them just looking at the pic.. lol.

I hope you are having a wonderful day my friends.. I'm off to blog hop.

Big Hugs,
