First Harvest and the Heat is on.............

These plants were almost destoyed by the Storm
A nice shady place to sit and relax after working in the yard







The Peas are ready to pick



The Cat is Cool Again!!












I have fixed it, we will be cool!!






Today Mark finally got a day off so we could do some needed yard work!! Just what he wanted to do after he has worked really long days getting the new store open. I worked in the front and he worked on the cooler. It stopped working yesterday and of course it had to be on a Sunday. Today he replaced the motor which isn't bad since it is the original one from 11 years ago when we bought the house. So we went ahead replaced some of the other parts too. Now the house is cool again.


Our peas are finally ready to harvest thanks to a cooler spring this year, they did great. We will plant a second crop in the fall. Our other garden plants are doing great. I wasn't sure if these plants in the pic would survive. I planted some from seeds I started in the greenhouse and right after we planted everything, a huge stinkin hailstorm just about destroyed them all . They looked so sad after the storm, the smallest zuchinni had only one little leaf left. It really was pitiful. With a lot of patience they finally made it.








Only 6 weeks till fair time ;)

Lunch Out


I know the kids haven't seen their grandma in awhile, so I took a pic when we went to Olive Garden last Monday. It was a nice summer day and after a great lunch we used a free pass we recently got, to shop at Costco. So with coolers and ice in car, we bought stuff for the freezer and headed home. Vea ate the leftovers that evening while I went to the gym to do some TurboKick and Mark did some yard work! The food was really good and Mark even eats pasta now! But I didn't tell you that ;)
