Hi Chris Glad you and your family are having a nice day and keeping cool. It reached 95 here again this afternoon, I will be happy when it cools down this week. Your garden is growing wild and is amazing. Glad all of you are enjoying your great vegetables you've been harvesting. Hope you grow some big gourds and pumpkins for Fall.So nice you and Holly are enjoying your new cards and collectibles. Thanks for all my nice hugs today Have a good evening Hugs to all there-Stephanie
YUMMY and beautiful:)
Great pictures. Fresh from the garden is soo good. I had half a cucumber last night. Love them in salads too. Cucumber sandwich with a bit of mayo, cheese & black pepper is also a nice cool sandwich in this hot weather. Going to make stuffed baked zucchini tonight. Can"t believe how tall your popcorn plants are. Garden just keeps giving & giving! Great Job! Hugs! Brooke
Hi Chris and Holly So when can I stop by for some of that fresh produce!!! It all looks so good and makes really miss not having a garden this year. But the vegetable stands are starting up here and their produce is good as well. But I have to admit I do miss going to the garden and picking it myself. So great that you and Holly have such a great garden this year. Good job you two. The collectibles sound great. John and I don't collect anything. We just don't have the time to do anything like that. Maybe after all the remodeling projects are done we can find a hobby to do together. It is great that you and Holly have interests that are alike. That is great for a relationship. Mya Abby and Allie say HI PAWS to their CT friends. I hope all your fur babies are staying cool in this weather. We won't let Mya Abby and Allie outside except to go do their business. They like being on the deck in their beds but it is even to hot for them to be outside at all. It is supposed to cool down this week so if it does then they can be out on the deck again. Seeing your cucumbers reminded me of the cucumber sandwiches that my Grandma used to make us for lunch. I don't think I have one of those since I was a little girl. She would take homemade bread, add Miracle Whip salad dressing, and cucumber and we would have that for lunch. I remember I thought it was really good. Of course anything Grandma was good in my eyes!!! Got to run so you guys take care and hope it cools down for you as well. Hugs--John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
