It Is July, People

I went outside to take pictures of my garden.

Because I’m avoiding my children.

I’m a grown up so I can say stuff like that.

You see, it’s raining here.

And my children, many who were born and raised here, have no idea what to do with themselves.

So I went outside to trudge through the mud and rain for some peace and quiet.

Painted this hand-me-down pedestal table.  I want to eventually get some metal outdoor chairs.  But these three will work for now.

I put this outside under the grape arbor in the garden.

I planted some amaranth.  I planted the gold variety, I’m excited to see how it turns out since it’s my first time planting a grain.

And here are some watermelon cucumber gherkins.

This is what the fruit will look like, adorable, amirght?

And our peaches are starting to blush up.

I love this picture because they’re totally selling the $20 worth of fireworks that we bought.

Anything fun planned for the weekend?

I’m hoping to get some stuff taken to the dump.

Guys, I know you’re jealous, but there can only be one of me….=)

  1. I'd like to have a baby this weekend. But who knows if the universe will align for that.

  2. Elizabeth looks so done in that sidewalk picture. That look is my life these days.

  3. Love the pictures and the table is beautiful! Your fireworks are a done deal, I'm sure. If you know anyone with leftover sparklers, Chance keeps asking for more "sprinklers" and I'm hoping to score some to take up in a month.

    Do you know any place to buy raspberries? I went to Farmers Market and the amount of them you get for $16.95 would not even do one batch...plus, way too pricey for me!

  4. That table looks great! Your ideas are just the best. And someday I would love to be at your house for Little People day and the 4th of July. Let's work on that...
