snow in June…in Alabama?!

photography by Henry Saab, my 11yr old son. i think he did a great job. as for me? I got really, really furry & dirty. But she is worth it

it ain’t easy being green…

usually people chose flowers for their color. I found this green echinacea, somewhere, a few years ago & fell in love. i love its combination of lime & dark greens. i love that i have to hunt for the flowers & when i find them, among all the greens in my garden, they stop me…

feed me

yesterday’s pick. i bring the BIG tomatoes in just as they begin to turn red because in Alabama heat, if left outside to ripen, they boil & burst. 🙂 besides, green tomatoes are DELICIOUS! We put them on our pizza, pastas, BLT’s or we leave them to ripen on the kitchen table.

i’ve got the Monday blues

lucky me. it took me 15 minutes to pick the blueberries this morning. it took about 3 minutes for our family of five to eat half. the tomatoes & one strawberry came out of the gardens today too.  

we have BLUEBERRIES!!!

ok, we have two blueberries. when you grow your own fruits & veggies & they become edible, it is like a holiday!
