Rainy Day Activities

Made 13 pies from Apples from our trees

This tree hasn't been picked

Home Grown

On Sunday I made this reversible apron for a gift.

Last night we picked these apples. I don't know what I will do with them. In years past I have given them to a friend who has feed them to his animals. This year I thought I would try to make pies with them, as they didn't have the worm problem they normally do.

Huckleberry Tomatoes

Aren't these interesting? I guess you use them like a berry. They are tall and loaded with fruit.

Weekend in the yard

I made a new strawberry bed in a sunnier spot. So Saturday I moved my strawberry plants to their new bed. I dug  garlic, tie up my tomatoes, can beans, and managed to do laundry. I listen to Comfort Food on my I pod while I worked, great day. A mild weekend weather wise it may have gotten to 80 on Saturday but I don't think so, and Sunday cooler yet.

No worry about Salomella poisoning

I love my hens and don't you love their protector?

Day off in Glacier Park

I took a day off in the middle of the week and went hiking. I advice everyone to do this. We hiked to Piegan Pass and across to Many Glacier hotel. Perfect day.

Good time with Good friends

Camp Mak-A-Dream is a camp for kids and others who are dealing from cancer. Our daughter worked and volunteered there for 3 summers,  that is how we became familiar with camp. There was a fishing tournament held as a fund raiser for camp so we went, and had friends join us. I feel so blessed to still be friends with someone I have know since first grade. These friends where also high school sweethearts and are still married after 30 years. Wow

My Summer

I have been cleaning my flower bed. Everything was so root bound and grass had gotten in there so it was a big project but done for another how many years... Sorry I didn't take a photo of the finished project it took 3 days to complete.

We went to West Glacier to camp and took a side trip and rode the ski lift up to Whitefish Mountain 

My Garden is Producing

I picked my first batch of peas on Thursday the 29th. I planted snow peas for the first time also and they are doing well. Picked enough beans for a meal, and my first zucchini on the 1st. The forecast high today was 70 but at 3:00 it was only 63. Just need a little heat.

Weekend Fun

It is so amazing all the flowers that can grow out of the rocks and at such high elevations, wonderful!

Rain Rain Go Away

Every night this week after coming home from work there has been rain. It is such a mixed blessing. The prairie is beautiful. The cool wet temperatures are not the best for growing vegetables. Look at the Sunflowers it could freeze in a month will they every grow enough to bloom? But isn't the prairie beautiful? My weeds are growing best of all, while I am inside staying dry. It could be a drought and that is bad also. Gardeners and farmers are we ever happy with the weather?
