That's what August feels like . . .
Gardening all the time.
Today's post is mostly photos.
Of course that includes harvesting . . .
And canning.
Also, baking for the freezer
and enjoying fresh meals
from the garden.
I also had a lovely visit
from my youngest
and may I say beautiful
granddaughter.
They're all beautiful :)
Look at these two sweet carrots . . .
One grew two arms just so it
could give the other one a
Big Hug!
Do you know someone that
could use a hug today?
Even a phone call that says,
"I Care"
Do it, it's a wonderful thing.
Until my next post . . .
remember to put God first.
God bless you all.
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
Great photos, especially the carrots!
ReplyDeleteI know aren't they adorable hugging each other.
DeleteYour granddaughter is indeed beautiful, as is her grandmother. Such a lot of bounty from your garden, yummy fresh food.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my first spaghetti squash from the garden this evening for dinner.
DeleteI had it with butter, salt and pepper and roasted chicken on the side. Delish!
Thank you for your kind words :)
Connie, Your granddaughter is indeed beautiful. Wow girl, both your thumbs are green. LOL What wonderful veggies. Plus breads for the freezer, so good. Connie, the hugging carrot is so fun. Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie
ReplyDeleteIt's been 3 years since I've seen my granddaughters and getting to see two of them this Summer has been an amazing treat and blessing.
DeleteThe garden looks great! You have sure been busy.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is beautiful and I can see you are thrilled to see her.
Cute carrot!
It was lovely having her here for a few days, hated to see her leave. They grow up so fast. I started missing her the minute her and her Dad drove out of the driveway.
DeleteOh such a lovely post! Such wonderful bounty from your gardens! Amazing!! It all looks so delightful. And your granddaughter is truly beautiful! What a nice surprise to have her visit. This was a refreshing post today!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and for leaving your sweet comment. This is a busy time of the year lots of harvesting and canning and next week is our county fair and rodeo. I praise God that I still have the good health and energy to do all the things I love and having a visit from Lucy was the Cherry on top of my weekend.
DeleteSo good to hear from you, Connie! Your garden looks so good and the veggies are beautiful! As is your granddaughter! Have a great weekend, dear!
ReplyDeleteGrace & Peace,
Pam
Thank you for your kind words. I can't believe how fast these grandchildren grow up, seems like she was just a toddler a couple years ago.
DeleteJust look at that beautiful bounty that the Lord has blessed you with Connie. The garden looks as if it's flourishing and you are certainly busy putting it away for the winter-time.
ReplyDeleteYour Granddaughter is very pretty and so are you. I'm glad you were able to spend time together. I know how precious that is.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
It was a true blessing having her company for the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteYou must be incredibly busy with all that gardening and canning. How wonderful to have all those fresh fruits and vegetables. Your banana bread sure looks good too.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of you and your granddaughter.
Thank you for your sweet comment. Actually the bread is not banana bread it is a new recipe that I found on Pinterest called, pina colada zucchini bread. It's delicious.
DeleteWow Connie....you have an impressive garden for sure...bless you for talents and love of the harvest..what a beautiful post and indeed, your granddaughter is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by; the garden keeps me busy in the summer but I enjoy every minute of it.
DeleteYour garden is amazing Connie! What do you do with it all? It would be far too much for me to eat up even if I froze it! What a lovely granddaughter, may I say!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, there's no way I can use all that I grow. Therefore; I give a lot of it away to friends and I have my free stand out by the road where I put all the rest of my surplus. Cars pull in and take what they need and it's nice to be able to help folks out. A lot of people are too busy to garden or they just don't have a large enough space.
DeleteI love all the wonderful produce from your garden! Everything is so colourful and good looking. Your lovely granddaughter looks like a sweetheart (just like her Gran). Take care of yourself, Connie. Hugs and Blessings, Granny Marigold
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. I had such a wonderful time during Lucy's visit, hated to see her leave.
DeleteOh Connie, you DO indeed have "green" thumbs and green toes!!! How do you do it all? I'm just amazed! I have nowhere near the energy I used to. What is your secret to keep your body going?? I know, I know.. movement helps so much, but I do work in my yard alot and move and bend all the time, but still don't have the energy! Maybe it's eating all that fresh produce that does it for you??!!! It's beautiful, and looks so abundent. Did you also grow cantelopes? I've tried before but had no luck, and that was when I lived by Walla Walla, WA! Plus harvesting, you are also canning, freezing and baking! I so admire you!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got the visit from your granddaughter. They BOTH need to come up for at least 2 weeks and help you with the harvet and canning. They would learn so much! Grandma should be the teacher of all the old ways. My grandmother and mom taught me all the ins and outs of canning and freezing... they also taught their grandsons and to this day, my one nephew loves to can things and remembers his grandma and great aunt for teaching him!
Your granddaughter is indeed so pretty.. and those smiles tell me what it's meant to have her there!
Sending hugs and lots more green thumbs! Oh.. and having the free product stand is such a great idea!
Hugs... Marilyn
You never fail to astound me with all that you do. Your gardens are so prolific and it's amazing how you harvest so much. I love the photo of you are your granddaughter. Both beautiful women!
ReplyDeleteYour canning is amazing and lovely granddaughter.....Nancy
ReplyDeleteGreat garden photos, Connie! And you have a fantastic garden bounty for the future. Thanks for sharing your pics♥
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly a busy time of year and looks like you are enjoying the goodness from your garden. Oh how wonderful to get a visit from your sweet granddaughter, such a blessing!
