Ben got some great shots! here are a few of my favorites. To see all the wonderful photos Ben took click Here.

The lawn care specialist / agriculturalist


Our yard looking so nice and cleaned up I had to take a photo
(where are all the toys?)


Ben's magnificent carrots!


More tomatoes than I can eat!



And only 2 cucumbers!

Kind of a boring post.... Ben and I decided instead of taking a romantic trip to the mountains while Max was in Atlanta with his grandmother we would stay home and do a little yard work instead. Mowing, weed eating, harvesting, adding pine straw so pretty!

Jack and Fran thru a great little 4th of July party for us kids and some neighbors on July 3rd. They had a cookout and the weather was so nice we had dinner outside!

The cookout was followed by fun little fireworks for the kids like race cars and snakes and sparklers. Once the sun wend down the real show began! We all sat in a big long line and watched as these amazing fireworks were set off in the field in front of us. They were so close that we ever felt a little paper and cardboard shrapnel!

Ben got some great photos as usual - enjoy!









I think this photo is my favorite! (click to enlarge)
All the firework photos can be found on our flickr site, see link to the right.

HARVEST!!!

I decided to take a photo of the lovely harvest we picked last night. I'm like a proud moma. I think we are going to have more cherry tomatoes than I can eat!!! Anyone have any good Salsa recipes?

We finally took out the volunteer pumpkin plant. The vine bore bugs have eaten it up. We got one tiny lil cute pumpkin out of it before that happened. I have no idea what to do with it.... It's weird to see it with all those sumer vegetables. The garden looks a little empty without the large green leaves and bright yellow flowers. I think Ben plans on trying pumpkins again when the season is right. Who ever heard of harvesting a pumpkin for the 4th of July!!!
