warning X Rated pictures ahead ....

dad covered his tomatos ... the foliage was already gone ... it's a used awning he got from the "boat cover" man ... again free recycling ....

sad looking watermelons -- the leaves are shot but the vines are still good ... no damage to the melons ...

ditto for the squash ....

pumpkins don't like it cold.....

well, they'll be easy to find ... hopefully my antlered and hooved enemies will stay away for a couple of days -- bow and arrow hunting season has begun --- GO ADAM !!!!  so they'll be hopping in the shelter of the woods..... doesn't town look close -- it's really almost a 1/2 mile away ...

so, the games continue ... market on Saturday and I'll be playing it day by day ....

a picture tells a 1,000 words ... (it sucks to be me) ....

at 5:30am it was clear and 35' .. but it's always coldest just before dawn --- at 6:30 there was ground fog and I had hopes but .... I drove out there at 7:00 and it was frost and foggy ....

where o where are my automatic headlights?

sad pumpkins and zinnas

time will tell but I don't think it's good

F R O S T

See the picture on my "header" the green-ness.   By this time tomorrow it will all be brown.  FROST warnings are out.  My stuff can handle 33 -34' but 28' will be the killer. 

I've decided I'll have more time to read, sew, quilt, crochet -- scrapbook, sleep, eat, cook, laundry .... just to name a few. 

Hoping for the best but expect the worst !!  Full moon will make it worse -- light winds and clear skies.... UGH UGH UGH.

it's been a good year of butterfly chasing -- Sunday night in the zinna patch ... lots more pictures -- unfortunately there is bad news.....

FROST is in the forecast  I realize all good things must come to an end but another 3 weeks of ripening time would have made me much nicer. 

SHIT Happens eh !

yep, it is mine...

holy shit -- it's already monday

I can't seem to get life in order and dang the weekends seem to fly past at record speed.  Friday was hot - and I picked for market in stages -- with a rest/water break/nap break ... amazing how much can get done after dark!

Market was great -- I sold out (adds to the greatness) got to see lots of new customers and fun customers -- Mrs. Green Tea's husband really really looks like his Dad!  I had a lovely two hour nap after market and then never got back in a groove (probably a good thing).

I came to work yesterday .... ya, working on weekends already -- Lori left the office a clean, tidy and wonderful smelling building!  After working, Mom and I took an ATV cruise -- 5 miles is a lot of miles when we never left our & the neighbors acreage ... we explored a lot of corners.  Found 5 black walnut trees that are starting to drop their nuts.... will be investigating further.

The boys had a great morning goose hunting -- pictures are on Nick's FB page.  I walked last night -- kicked out a GINSENG hunter -- what the hell ---

One would think between the goose, ginseng and occasional deer (bow season is opening) ... that the flipping deer would not find the patch attractive ... WRONG -- the battle continues.

Happy Monday!

ps.  it's pick up the WHEELS day ... pictures tomorrow!

yep, it's September ...

pinecones and walnuts are starting to drop ....

flowering kale is getting colorful

pumpkins are turning orange (the humpy bumpy ones are "knuckleheads"

watermelons are tasty

hard to believe but it's 90' today -- to hot to work in the garden ... so I went to work at the office for a couple of hours -- deadlines approaching  ... always a deadline ....

Happy September
