    And what a sweet baby on the bottom.  ðŸ™‚

  1. I love the bee in the squash blossom. What part of the country is it ? If I’m not being to personal. I’m guessing somewhere hot. the hammock in a grove looks like a great place to spend the summer.  

  2. RiaD, dang, you make me so nostalgic — yes, I remember this kind of garden when I was growing up.

    You must feel soooo good in your surrounds, as I do imagining myself there.  And, it’s quite obvious that Monsieur LaPooche, in the end, makes the most emphatic response of all — “WOOF, WOOF, I am a happy camper”

  3. …even the okra.

    Is a muskmelon the same as a cantelope (sp?)?  And what are black peppers & dragon tongue beans?  What do they taste like? i.e., are the peppers hot or more bell pepperish?  and what kind of beans that I might have eaten do the dragon tongue ones resemble?

  4. Its funny, I have been using a music theme for my Sunday Morning over easy writings for a year now, I NEVER thought of it as a soundtrack until these.

    Your peppers look like over water, and I saw the slow drip line… perhaps let them really dry before giving them a good deep water?

    Now, those paper lanterns, are those related to tomatillos? I haven’t planted tomatillos in years, they volunteer from old seed, and I just let them show up wherever they want to.

    The Datura? Holy shit, never seen it live, but hear the tales about that stuff. Deadly medicine there.

    What a beautiful pictoral.

    The country consists of you and thousands of your friends whom you’ve never met.  

  5. For a split second there I thought the soundtrack was going to be Gypsy’s “Here In The Garden”, but I’m sure the lyrics don’t describe yours.



    I figure if anybody here has heard of Gypsy before, It would be you. ?

  6. Pookie & all the growing things.  Gardening is the right way to go now.  I can’t, but my very good friend does.

    Thought it was illegal to keep a brown bear as a pet.
