Beautiful Sunrise ~ Garlic ~ Me
Yesterday morning, the sunrise was just gorgeous. I took this in the beginning. Then I took this photo...
That was about the time the school bus came. Then I was getting ready to do laundry, and another dog wanted to go out.
I ran back inside and grabbed my camera before that little bit of rainbow disappeared. Do you see it? In the center? I heard it was a double rainbow, as one of my daughter's saw it going to class.
A few months ago, I pre-ordered a 1/2 pound of Russian Giant garlic. I counted 29 cloves cloves. This is new to the garden.

Random Tidbits
I snipped a few containers of chives and got them into the freezer. We plan to add these to every breakfast scramble, soups and whatnot. Sort of like greens, but a lot more. As the cooler weather approaches, I go into panic-mode. We have not even started splitting wood, so I'm madly stocking up the herbs before the first frost.
Today, breakfast was "on the go" as Hubby and I made our first visit back to the gym. We get up at 4:30am and get about an hour work out. I pre-made the breakfast yesterday, using my crock pot. I was completely out of apples, and thankful to have a few straggling pears left from our tree. I made steel cut oats with pears, organic raisins and locally grown walnuts (which I am about out of). It's a pity that stores here do not sell organic steel cut oats.
