Garden update

With the heat wave we had, I'm surprised that I still have any live plants to blog about. I do, and here are a couple of the stars that are still growing strong.

One of two pumpkins

Tomatoes gone wild!
Next time I'm using cages.

Friends

...since preschool.
Happy Birthday Connor!

Ladybugs and tomatoes

I'm still amazed at how fast everything is growing in the garden. We've already harvested 4 good sized zucchini, the corn are almost ready and we're going to have tomatoes galore! If you live nearby, get ready to share in the wealth :)

One of my little helpers. Between them and the lizards, they're helping keep the unwanted bugs
to a minimum.

The biggest of the bunch

I'm guessing it will probably be a couple more weeks before they're ripe enough to eat.

Birthday and a mouse

Today was Kyle's 11th birthday and with his saved + birthday money combined, he decided he wanted to get a mouse. I can't believe we went along with it, but we did and ta-da, meet Domino...


I guess he's kind of cute, but I just hope he doesn't escape or accidentally get let out of his cage. That would not be good.

Pledge of Allegiance

Kyle recorded the Pledge of Allegiance today at a local radio station (KSGN). The station plays the pledge every morning in support of the US soldiers serving in the military and Kyle's clip will be airing sometime in the next few weeks. He did a really good job and we can't wait to hear it!

I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America,

and to the republic for which it stands,

one nation under God,

indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all.
...
UPDATE: The pledge will be airing Wednesday the 11th at 7:40am on 89.7 FM

Zucchini

Our very first vegetable! It looks ready, but I don't know when I should pick it. I guess I'd better do some research...lol.
