No hike today because of the rain. It's much needed (and I'm thinking Rain Thoughts for all you suffering in the heat and drought), our poor WV trees were dropping leaves. Dry, crunchy leaves.
I'm shopping for a lightweight, packable rain jacket. My Kelty jacket is ready to fall apart. Suggestions welcome!

| Dark, gloomy..but we need it! |
I'm scared to mention this...but..we might toss the tent and dogs into the car for a quickie camp trip tomorrow. Just an overnighter. State park campgrounds should be pretty quiet!
Dammit, I probably hexed myself. Again.
Yesterday was gorgeous...even being a Crazy Day didn't affect that. :)

| One of my vulture buddies..there are 5 that roost close to our property. I love these guys. |
Thanks, guys, for making me wonder if I look/smell like a bloated corpse.

| Nothing like sitting on the couch and seeing blue skies, the woods and...carrion eaters. |
The garden is still going like crazy...
The Parisian carrots are almost 2 inches tall and the second crop of green beans are nearly 5 inches.
Unless we have some freak cold spell, we have plenty of time for harvest.
Michael is taking me to lunch today...he works closing shift again tonight. BLAH.
I'm going to clean closets. Pray for me.
Good luck on those closets. If we don't hear back from you, we'll send in search parties! (MY closets are so bad...no disrespect intended..yours probably aren't as bad as mine)!
ReplyDeleteThe little yellow fruit in husks - is that some sort of tomato?
ReplyDeletemaybe you'll find pig in your closet - nestled into your shoes...
ReplyDeleteOh dear me, cleaning closets isn't any fun, until, that is, you suddenly find some long lost and forgotten treasure. I hope that you find lots of them.
ReplyDeleteIf you come up with any hints for closets, let me know!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteYour garden is producing such beautiful veggies, Samantha.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the camping. ;)
Good luck on canceling out that hike hex. Looking forward to seeing what you see. Still laughing over your earthquake post.
ReplyDeletenice produce you have coming in ! I have yet to harvest a tomato yet (we planted very late) have a great camp out don't forget the marshmallows. I guess I need to go back in and read the post from yesterday..the earthquake in VA My daughter in law and grand daughter felt it.Jilly just said..."What was that , mommy ?...can I have some chocolate milk? LOL
ReplyDeleteKAT
man, what a haul! i have some friends who pulled up their carrots and they looked like those. that wasn't the plan though. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe weather guessers are saying some of that rain may move our way and I sure hope they're right. Our maple has been dropping leaves for the past few days. Meanwhile,on the other side of Virginia, Mom is hoping for some rain from that hurricane to help knock down the wildfire in the Dismal Swamp.
ReplyDeleteWish we would get some rain.
ReplyDeleteGlad you survived the Earthquake so the Vulture would have to look elsewhere for a meal.:)
Hope the camping goes well!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some rain! Lots of places need it badly. Vultures are very cool to watch! I doubt it was your carcass they were after...probably just some decaying varmint nearby. :-)
ReplyDeleteI grew up in WV. Lots of good times!
don't leave those yummy looking veggies too close to the window...some brave little pig might spot them & make his way to the table top!
ReplyDeletehappy camping...don't forget the tick spray! ugh!
How are the closets coming?:)
ReplyDeleteThose veggies look pretty....and so good. I want to come fry them all up!!!!
You're hilarious...I laughed out loud at your "swimsuit sun tanning on your deck" comments! I often wonder what those hovering birds are thinking too;))
You always have the best harvest pics! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteWe got some good rain yesterday and today too! Yesterday's storm was awesome! Lots of thunder and lightening along with a good heavy soaking rain. Loved it! Today was rain. That's boring but at least we got rain which is well needed. Sorry you didn't get to go on your hike. Hope you got to go camping tonight.
