Yesterday I was getting ready for dinner and I looked over at my work table and the sun was hitting my peaches just so... and I took a picture of them for you.

The stuff in the jar next to them is dried sweet corn and some dried tomatoes. I ground up some of that corn and made cornbread last night. It was so delicious!
I have started my fall clean up of the garden and for two days in a row have cleared out dead plants and weeds from some of the flower beds and one raised bed. This morning I dug the last of the first crop of potatoes. The new planting is just now sprouting up out of the ground. I think they will have plenty of time to grow before the really cold weather stops them.
I chose one flower bed in particular to overhaul first because it is the one we see when we look out the back door. I put some of my tubs of plants up there for color. AND they are protected from the dogs. Ben is still patrolling for mice, even though I think they are all gone now.
I bought something called 'Angel Vine' the other day and put it in that big gray tub. I hope it likes it in there. It is supposed to be a bit of a climber. We shall see.

I have been awake since 4:30 this morning. I think I may have to take a nap. It's supposed to be 100 degrees today. This does not exactly help me wake up.... I need a good cold breeze to do that. I don't see one coming this way for quite some time.
So nap it is then....
