My Garden is Growing

What a little heat will do! After four days in the 80's today it is 52 and raining. It has rained so much. Farmers have hay down. We really need some heat. Check out my tomatoes now, the peas are doing well. All my seeds are heirloom seeds this year

Life on the Prairie

We had a great weekend it finally warmed up. My fishermen caught walleye and I got lots of sun.  O happy days.

Participated in my first 1/2 marrathon

In beautiful Missoula, Montana, It was great! After lots of unnecessary stress and worry. I am already planning  next year.

The Next Day

Apgar Look out is at an elevation of 5236 feet. In 2.8 miles you climb 1,800 feet. So when you get back there is nothing better the a refreshing dip in Lake McDonald. It was a warm, perfect day.

First Hike

We headed to Grinnell Glacier but were unable because of snow to make it. You can see Salamander Glacier in the second photo. I was a perfect day. The first photo is taken at Lake Josephine, the last photo is Grinnell Lake.

Peonys are 3 weeks late blooming

Garden is up

This is the inside of my tomato house June 30,2010. The tomatoes are so small yet! I started them all indoors, they are all heirloom seeds. Last year they were so tall before I got them planted outside. This year I think I may have jinxed my self by building my fancy tomato house. But they have grown since this was taken. We have had a record amount of rain and cool weather. Hopefully it is ready to warm up.

Tomato House

My wonderful husband built me a home for my tomato's. The request was to make it cute. I think he did just that. This photo was taken the end of May.
