Yesterday...

Written by Sue, Saturday  June 11, 2011                                                       Sunny, temps.are in high 90's with high humidity
     
I asked Lucy

 if she wanted to go to the garden and help gather squash, and she willing went.

We discovered this squash blossom with a visitor inside, he was either shading himself from this blistering sun, or enjoying some nectar, probably both.
I love to see how plants and their fruit evolve. Do you see how the squash has begun to develop from the blossom?
It is now mature enough to gather, all this happens within a few days, therefore we have to pick them every day, or they will become to large
Aren't they pretty?
Once washed I trim and slice, this is when my camera started acting up. It was so loud I jumped. I think it was in rebellion because lately I have been taking so many photos,{lol}
I didn't get to take photos of how I got these. The result of my camera misbehaving is blurred photos
The lens on my camera has gone  kaput. I guess I have over worked it,{lol} anyhoo it will be going to the shop , and I was so glad to find out that it has an extended warranty.WHEW! 

Today I will be making this...
And doing this..
 And some of this..
When day is done I will be soaking here, that is if I don't fall asleep before hand [Smile}....



Do you remember when we were children,and in the summertime we would want to play and stay outside way past dark to catch fireflies, or lay on the grass , look up and count stars, and always try and find the big and little dipper?  And all the other games we played! When we were finally forced to come in that it was then that we realized how tired we were, and  sometimes we would be dozing off while getting bathed by our mothers, I know I do!... 

Enjoy your day, and be blessed.
Until next time,
Sue
