Thursday stuff

No blue table shot today.
I was so loaded down with tomatoes and ground cherries I just picked everything straight into a big bucket.  I have enough ground cherries to make a pie now.  We'll be having that for dessert tonight.

We're planning a quiet day at home..Michael's off today.

Sweet thing.

Spoiled brat! Organic tomatoes aren't good enough.

But...overripe plums are!

The watermelons are growing FAST.

And the Fairytale eggplants.

Bunting #2!
We've had a crazy few days!  Looking forward to our downtime today.
OH!  Good news!  Jeremy was released from the hospital! Kidney function is improving on its own :)
THANK YOU all for the prayers and good thoughts!

    Glad to hear your friend's better! Speaking of brats, the squirrels are doing a number on my tomatoes, just taking a bite or two then leaving them to rot:@( Have a great day!

    I'm so glad to hear the good news about your friend! You certainly do spoil Pig, you know. My groundhogs (there are two, I saw one night) would be very jealous.

    That's great news about Jeremy.

    In that first shot of Pig, I think maybe she's trying to soften up the tomato, so she's got a good spot to bit into it.

    Pig is just too cool...even in this heat wave. I get a kick out of how you two live in "harmony." Well, maybe that's pushing it, but at least Pig knows a good thing and provides a lot of fun blog fodder. Your garden is looking super!

    And thanks for stopping by...

    Great pictures of everything. I like buntings. I like the groundhog too, even if she is a menace.

    Before we moved here, the groundhogs had taken over and built a whole little civilization underneath all the outbuildings. You should see what they did to our old well! With habitation, the little fellas moved to the farther parts of the property, and we only see them near the house in the evenings when they come out to eat. I wish they weren't so destructive, because they're fun to watch. Mama groundhog and her two babies, eating clover, sitting like prairie dogs.

    Either Pig is used to you, or you use a L.O.N.G lens to get your shots. Mine run almost as soon as I close the back door behind me. Wary little critters.

    C, we're pretty sure Pig was raised tame and dumped.
    My very first interaction with her was her sneaking up behind me and trying to steal the flipflop off my foot!
    She will eat out of your hand (which we won't allow) and is perfectly comfortable following me around as I pick peaches and apples.
    She'll even sit next to me on the front steps. I'm not ok with that, either!
