A Peachy Summer and an Old-fashioned garden

Squash.... squash....and more squash.
Butternut squash-- my favorite! You better send me some recipes to deal with it all! Plenty to share.
Banana squash that grew enormous! Had help lifting it.


Lots more squash and apples.



Peter and I had so much fun digging up the new potatoes.





Grandpa was impressed. Have YOU ever seen new potatoes that size?






How the garden looked in early June.








Some of the harvest in September

The peaches were beautiful.


I'm Back! (Wild Applause)

My late-night computer time has been limited to editing the photos I took at Whitney and Keven's wedding, reading a few email, and trying to keep up the reading of my daughters' prolific and entertaining blogs before crashing in bed. I promised my girls I would make this blog an informal journal of events, but even that guilt could not drive me to the keyboard at the end of the day. There was just nothing in my brain at night! But after all is said.... weeks ago I took pictures some of the abundant produce from our garden. It looked so beautiful and I wanted to share with you my joy in a remarkable garden. Now the frost is on the pumpkin--I mean, squash-- and the beautiful lush green foliage is shriveling up under the frosty hand of cold nights. Late or not, here are the photos anyway. This was a Joyful Garden year and here is some of the proof! (Wish you could have enjoyed the harvest when y'all were here.)
