Hi Ho, Hi Ho It's Off to Weed I Go!



Yesterday's sunrise and guests that came by.  It wasn't the prettiest sunrise, but still pretty.

Due to excessive rain, followed by a heat wave, this happened.  To no fault of myself either.   I blame the weather.

Green beans are in there somewhere.  Oh what a mess it is.



Three hours of work, before I had to take care of the puppy (not happy about missing out on my work time when she interns).  Not all survived, but I should get a good amount.  One plant already has starts on it.  The last row is iffy.  Tall grass everywhere.  I put an S.O.S. out to one daughter who I know will come help withe either puppy or garden.  I hope to get that help soon.  

I hope to have a photo when it's tilled, but no promise.  I must move onto the potatoes or tomatoes next.  They are a hot mess too.  Row of wax beans looks great.  Beans on the plants too.  Second row (green beans), about 1/2 survived.  First row is a lost cause - only 4 plants survived.

It rained after I took those photos, and too wet to weed.  I will be heading out there again today.

the photos are beautiful. You live where earth touches sky or so it appears. Love the big bodacious fuffy clouds in the sunrise. Straight out of GOD's coloring book. Your deer friends, so pretty. We get them here in the city, the poor deer, they don't know what their missing living in the busy, noisy crowded fast city. They adapt.As we all do.

Gosh the weeds...how frustrating, I can't imagine all the work you'll be doing and I don't envy you! The photos are beautiful, the sky is so pretty! :)
Thanks Rain. I love a good sunrise. Yes, the weeds are frustrating, but the green bean plants look great.

I hate it when that happens! And it's so hard to keep up with it this time of year. :(

Sad you have to do so much of this all on your own. I remember gardening, harvesting, etc. when I was a child and teen. It was hard work and wasn't fun, but that's what living on a farm is.
Prayers you have a great weekend coming up.
God bless.

Loved the photo with the deer, the peace and tranquillity the photo evokes is a joy. Such a shame the weeds are taking over, the weather conditions have been a real hindrance for you again. It must be soul destroying after all your hard work. Today's another day, hopefully the weather will be conducive to garden work.
Leigh, it is difficult to keep up with it, especially with no help whatsoever this year. Just me and myself, plus puppy.
Thanks mamasmercantile. I'm working out there as much as I can these dry days we are having.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
