Garden Takes Advantage
Fri Jun 26 2009

Okay, I was gone from home for 8 days. One measly week and a day. That doesn't seem so long does it?

Before I left, I picked every single summer squash on the plants. The only thing on those plants were blossoms.

This is what happened in 8 days:

There's something just WRONG about that.

(More like scary don't you think?)

( ), for once I agree with you.

I'll be cooking up a mess of green beans for dinner. The first of the season. YUM.

I have given up on the idea of a travelogue in chronological order and logical progression. I just don't have it in me at the moment. Too many things to catch up on around the house and yard right now.

But here is a picture of a glacier from the air:

 This was on the way home. I finally understood a little better what was going on when I saw these from this vantage point. They start in a big snow field where there is only one way for the snow to get out. I was particularly interested in the place where the snow 'breaks' and starts to go down the mountain. Those gaps must be truly enormous to show up so well from 30,000 feet in the air. The mind boggles.

Okay, back to the mop and kettle.

And not a moment too soon
if you ask me.

And the best part?
Not a bear in sight.
It's going to be a good day.

    Again, my comment has to be WOW!
    Not only about the glacier, but those veggies, too!
    You must have some pretty hard working garden fairies in your neck of the woods.

    Veggies do grow beautifully andf fast in this area don't they? Your squash l;ooks gorgeous. Next year I am planting all kinds of squash. They are my favorite and I eat them every day. 1 zucchini plant isn;t doing it for me and David and I do not share the harvest with the kids because they dislike squash. Thta's why I only planted the one this year. Next year I know David and I can eat way more than 1 squash plant provides!

    You didn't really think those little green things in the planters would wait for you, now did you?

    Glaciers are one of the wonders of the world. I hope they don't disappear from the world. That's an entirely impressive picture you posted there.
