Lately

Hi friends! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind, sweet words of congratulations. Thank you my friends for taking a moment to leave me a few words of encouragement on my last post.

Take a look at my sweet girl. She is waiting for mama to pick her a few green beans. We love our green beans!
Our first acorn squash.
And do you know what I found under it? Ack! A large toad. I think the tiny toads are cute. The big ones, well, not so much!

This is the first year I have grown eggplant. I have none yet, but look at this blossom. Isn't the pale lavender just pretty?
This chocolate pansy popped up in the wrong spot. I sprinkled some seeds in the chocolate garden of course. ;) It popped up along the base of the garage. Oh well.
I sent a few grape irises to our friend Angela as a thank you for the pretty pink fabrics she sent me. :)

Our friend Annette sent me MORE pink fabrics! Thank you so very much Annette!
I worked this week on a gift for another friend. Will show you soon once she receives it. I am currently stitching on My Mom's Garden by Shepherd's Bush. I received this pattern from our friend Sally, and agreed to pass it on when done. Watch for it soon.

I was doing some sewing, with little Henry on my lap of course. When I popped up, I left him there in the sun. He dozed off.♥
Have a super weekend my friends!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie
Aww, my little golden boy.

    I love your veggies and apparently so does the toad! He is protecting them from invading bugs. :) I must admit that I am not an eggplant fan though. Perhaps I have never had it cooked properly but I've always found it too squishy to eat.

    You are so kind and thoughtful...I have already planted my irises in a pot safe from the gophers and dog. I too would like a picture of the toad. LOL

    I love seeing the bounty from your garden! I am so hoping that next year I can garden again. Love your fur babies. Our poodles love the veggies, too, and stand under me hoping for a tidbit or two. :)

    Blessings - Julie

    Glad to see your garden is doing so well, Vickie. Ours was a disaster this year between the extreme wetness in the beginning of the summer and the drought of the past month. Throw in Tim's broken neck and we just had virtually no vegetables other than a few peas and beans.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    It's so exciting seeing the produce sprout from a garden, isn't it? I haven't had a garden in two years and miss having one. Nothing like fresh produce you've grown yourself.

    Your furbabies are so adorable :)
