Harvest Time

 The harvest is rolling in and I am preserving like crazy.

Salsa and tomato sauce today.

Makes me smile.

Rainbows, Potatoes, and Siding

 

This morning there was a beautiful, full arch with faint double, rainbow in the sky. Unusual to have a morning rainbow. Storms generally blow through in the afternoon leaving rainbows in the east, but today the bow was in the west.

Last week I harvested the potatoes. 43 pounds, if I can manage to store them well.

We've been preparing for new siding on the west side. I've been priming and putting on the first coat on the ground - a huge blessing from my contractor.

And Mr. Wonderful and I have been taking off the old on weekends. Soon a much needed repair will be complete. And a much needed painting of the exterior of the house has begun.

Amusement Park

 To celebrate her birthday and to have a last blast before school starts, Mr. Wonderful took Miss Adventure to the amusement park in the BIG city. She had a blast!

(and photos from Mr. Wonderful's phone can't seem load in the direction I choose. Grrr...)

Pretty Bird

 

 This gorgeous and elusive yellow bird came to eat sunflower seeds from our volunteer sunflowers.

He brought along his not so brilliant mate.

And the four o'clocks seem determined to bloom at 8am instead of in the afternoon. Silly blooms.
