Who could ask for more?

Mother Nature was teasing us yesterday...

when she gave us both rain and sun, together. Isn't this neat? It was pouring down rain and all the while, the sun was shining bright.

Searched the sky over for a rainbow but didn't find one. Then my neighbor Ann called and said, "Mel, on the way home from town, I saw the biggest most beautiful rainbow".

Oh well, on to the teeny tiny garden...

which is winding down after that long dry hot spell.

and let me tell you about the corn we were so proud of...

Two short rows of green healthy corn and the ears are not fit to eat. Seriously! It has absolutely no taste, and the kernels are, are, well, unusual...stick to you teeth kind of texture, and did I say it has no taste.

This has also been a bad year for green beans. Why, anybody can grow green beans, but not me, not this year. A few years back I canned 64 quarts of green beans, all from the little garden. This year we've eaten green beans twice and once, I've given Nellie a bag full.

Don't you just love zinnias? A little garden is not complete without a row of flowers, no matter how small. 

I do love the wreath of tiny yellow flowers inside the pink petals.

and a big old sunflower with lots more buds to open.

This is way too many pictures, oops! and this one...

might as well add it too. Maters and stuff from the garden. :) Oh, I've told this before, but years ago, down home...

Billy stopped by to see mama and my step-dad Bill. They were in the kitchen, where most of the visiting took place, and mama said, "I sure wish we had a good ripe tomato from the garden".  Billy said, "ain't aunt Rache got'ne maters?"  Good old hillbilly slang. (Rache was short for Rachel.  Aunt Rachel lived down the road a piece.)

Need to get back to work. I've cleaned and vacuumed and mopped, even moved the dining table and chairs to get to all the dust!

Hope to be back soon!

Love,
Henny
