Welcome to Camp!

We were camping on Saturday night and this awesome creature and a second one decided to join us. They passed right by camp. The moose were munching on trees and stayed around the area for a long time.

I've been having computer problems - modem crashed, the new modem doesn't play well with my main computer. Hopefully we'll get everything working soon!

Smiles to all!

Tomatillo Lanterns

This is my first year to grow Tomatillos.

I didn't know they were going to be humongous plants,

somehow I had the idea they were ground cover...

Didn't do my research!

What I've learned is they grow big

and they grow zillions of yellow blossoms

then around the blossom a lantern grows.

The lantern is empty at first

then starts to fill with the fruit.

Here is a shot of the plants.

I did research just enough (the worker at the nursery told me)

to know you need to plant 2 plants for pollination.

And below, the cherry tom and a Jack bomb.

Happy growing to all!

Bunnies in the Aspens

In September 2009 we went camping up on Monte Cristo

and I took a sketch pad and drew pictures

of bunnies in the Aspens.

Of course there were no bunnies way out in the wilderness

except in my sketches.

This weekend we went to the exact same place to camp,

and look what was there...
Weird.
Did I make that happen?

He even liked us.

The Jack pack had to be contained though...

JULY...continued

Some July pictures...

I heart you.

It's JULY!!!

Fabulous July!

Love'n Summertime!

I hope every one had a wonderful 4th of July long weekend!

I spent mine painting the pergola

and making some monster babies.

I made some with matching quilts too...

gave one, sold two, and put the rest on etsy.

They were fun time-passers for me as my sweetie was on his 4th annual visit to Alaska to see his brothers and fish for Halibut with them. He brought home a good bit of it, but it was very hard work - from the stories!

Smiles to all

and I hope your summer

is going GREAT!
