It's a fall kind of day...

we missed all the rain last night...sprinkled ever so lightly this morning...
sedum turning darker pink...
and the leaves are falling...
the impatiens love cooler weather...
making a meatloaf for supper...Terri went to the farmer's market in Charleston this morning and brought us some fresh corn and tomatoes... still have to scrub the kitchen floor...picked peppers...and another tomato...we are doing the bean greens for supper tomorrow...
have a fun day...

Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.

Rain is coming...

the clouds are starting to move in...
Craig and Tia moved the north fire pit today...
the flower bed we worked on the other day...
sure looks like fall is starting around here...
look at all the leaves down already...Steve looks tired...he ate a big supper and he had a hard day...Craig and I picked bean greens again today and it looks like we will get one more picking before we pull the plants up...picked 3 tomatoes...finally...the colder nights have stopped their progress...
have a good night...

It's after lunch again...

this is were we put the lilies...and then these 1/2 blocks...cut on angle for the roof part of the house they came out of...will be in the spring...my herb garden...as most know...herbs are agressive and take over an area completely...here they will be contained...and won't spread...
my laundry...pillow shams off of my bed...
suprise lilies...
all that remains of last night's fire...we did marshmellows and hotdogs...
snap dragon...
cold frames...these will house the new plants in the spring and save them from frost...they will stay in here until it is safe to put them out in the gardens...
the corn...a total loss...
Bebe...

and Mr College boy who hangs around and eats all the food...
