August Calendar Picture …

August’s calendar picture was taken in October 2012 while having breakfast at Among The Flowers.  I was staring at this row of little vases and couldn’t resist getting up and taking a picture. .. I like it so much I had note cards made of it.

Do you have a preference between “person” in the books you read? Do you prefer third-person to first-person? Or don’t you care?

And … why??


Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

…and more trellis…

that's that I guess (for the trellis)

Got the sides up and tied up the unruly heap that was, well, everything in the garden.

green beans, (carrots), kale, and chard

I definitely let the beans choke out most of the carrots, but that's fine since I have never grown successful carrots in my life anyway. Only bitter failure carrots. I thought about naming a whole new variety after myself actually. "Amber's Bitter Failure." They'd be a big hit among people who don't even like carrots anyway.

So now those green beans have a nice place to raise their babies, because LOOK. BABIES!

baby green beans!

Gets me every time. :)

The other bed is loaded with broccoli greens and a few happy beets,

as well as the squash family monsters,

Those pumpkin vines were challenging to move and tie, but it'll be worth it if we can have some little fun (and tasty) pumpkins come fall!

Now all to do is the path. Maybe this weekend if I'm lucky.

Unrelated: my second guest post on the Juniper Moon Farm blog is up with a little more progress on my Blaithin.

7-28

I try to at least touch it once a day, even if a certain small person does not let me actually knit more than a few stitches.

Lydia, just over 14 months

Oh Lydia, lucky for you you're such a cutie...
