Roadtrip

Headed down to the in-laws place for a couple days this weekend.

 
Perfect timing! Their blackberry patch was at it's peak.
 
 
 
And of course what's the first thing I see when I return home? One of the 3 resident wild baby rabbits eyeballing the garden. They're leaving it alone for now, but when they're grown up i'm sure we'll be having a war!
 
 
A bunch of tomatoes decided to ripen while we were away. Tomatoes always seem to ripen faster when their care giver isn't checking them 3 times per day.

Welp, here it goes.
 
 
It's over 90 degrees today, so the cat is of course miserable. It's his own fault though, he refuses to migrate to the cooler parts of the house. Soooooo....
 
 
Finally starting to get some goods from the garden. Spring and early summer was a wash out with all the rain, so everything got delayed.
 

An ice cream bucket full of mustard greens is always a good sight. These will be takin' a dive into a pot on the stove with bacon grease and garlic!!
 

 
The bees have been taking over the hummingbird feeders lately. I suppose that's why the birds stopped showing up?
 
 
Today is my kind of day!

 

Garden Tomato + Bacon + Salad Dressing + Bread = Supper time!
 
 
 Time to kick back for the evening.
