Summer Gardening

Oh, how delightful it is to walk in the garden in the early morning! No wonder Genesis is full of God's pleasure in creation, and God's delight in walking in the garden.


I have spider friends guarding my veggies now, and have noticed a dramatic reduction in the pest population. If only I could issue banana spider invitations with the first planting...


Rattlesnake Pole bean guard...



Yellow Pear Tomato guard...

I am so proud of my tomatoes...I grew these plants from seeds!

Enjoy your summer!

Harry Potter in our World

We all attended the midnight premiere of the newest Harry Potter movie--Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. We've done this every movie, since the very beginning...all four of us, in wizard robes, going out to dinner or to Wal-Mart to parade our little family of extroverts and then off to the movie.

Last night, Maggie's Trelawney costume was good enough for 2nd place in the local radio show competition, beaten out only by Mad Eye Moody. I find it hard to believe he "became" the character the way she did. Mallory's Ginny is a perennial favorite, and who could I be besides McGonagal?

A lovely time was had by all.
