Finally, a shot of the Indigo bunting.
I've been hearing them all summer...taunting me.
This morning, I finally got my chance (hanging out the living room window, once again, risking life and limb).
Not frame worthy, but they are identifiable..and that was my only goal!
The second victory?
After four years of FAIL, I finally grew carrots.
They are about 5 inches long now...I'm going to pull them today.
Check me out, all Farmer Sam over here. ;)
The carrots are in the super crowded, crazy bed.
Yep, carrots, ground cherries, green beans, eggplant, chili peppers and snow peas in the same bed. All crowded to death and..for whatever reason..thriving.
Chaos Gardening!
I am sick of picking green beans. They are prolific this year. Insanely.
I'm not really complaining, because those frozen beans will carry us almost all the way through winter!
The party last night went really well..total surprise for Jeremy.
Ashley is a goddess for pulling this off. 20+ guests and he had NO idea. I couldn't have pulled that off.
oh, good job by your friend for the surprise success!
ReplyDeleteyum. fresh carrots.
and SO jealous on the indigo! have never seen one in person!
Love your little indigo!
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of beans too. I stuff a big batch in the crockpot w/ potatoes, chopped onion, chopped garlic, and 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 cup water. Cook on low 5 hours. So good :-)
your bunting is SO pretty! he's a bit of a fat-ass though. look at what he's doing to the stalk of wheat.
ReplyDeleteHe's a total lard ass..that's a huge, wild grass!
ReplyDeleteBig butt buntings..a new species.
T, you come here and get indigo pics and then I'll come there and get photos at the pond!
Lisa, that sounds really good! Extra good because I don't have to heat up the whole kitchen.
Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishements! The indigo is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHooray! The bunting is beautiful. They are an eyecatching bird. And, I'm glad that the party went well. Did you have beans?
ReplyDeleteFront AND back pictures. Score! Very very pretty birdie.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the bunting.
ReplyDeleteThe bird is beautiful, I've never seen one before! Congrats on the carrots, it's always fun when the garden starts producing-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you've had such productive gardens this year.
Congrats on the bunting photo. Those little guys are so blue they almost hurt your eyes. "Quick, grab a camera, any camera!" And they're gone. We have lazuli buntings here. Same bird only with a red tummy. Doesn't Nature dish out some amazing surprises. Chaos gardening--like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteWell Farmer Sam that is a fine carrot! And lucky you with that beautiful Blue in your yard!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful bird....i often feel that what i want to shoot taunts me and wow, what a great feeling when you finally get "that shot". you got "that shot" multiple times.....fantastic job !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little bird. And your veggies look so healthy, you must water them well.

ReplyDeleteI love indigo buntings. I've only ever seen these birds once, but I've loved their color ever since. Your pictures are just great.
ReplyDeleteHe's so beautiful! I love that color! Wish I could grow some carrots! No luck with them or the beans. Deer....
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Day!
