How Is Your Garden and other things going on....

First off, coming next week I will have my first giveaway!  You all made it to 100 followers, so we are going to celebrate!  I will give more of that info next week.  Congrats!

Second, I have two sprained ribs that are killing me.  I think that is mostly because the chiropractor seem to poke and push and made my whole back sore.  I am sure I'll be fine, but today it is very sore.  I go back on Monday to see him.  Oh joy.

Third, here are some awesome pictures of the garden.  I have a friend whom I buy corn off of every summer and it's in a month early this year.  We played phone tag a bit, and then I called him last night. When he got on the phone he sounded, exasperated.  I asked him if this was a bad time.  He said, "No, I'm just trying to catch a donkey."

Huh?  Well, apparently he has a donkey on his farm and he ties it up every night.  Last night the donkey didn't want to be tied up, but wanted the feed behind Farmer Mike.  I was quite amused.  Anyways, I will be getting 25 dozen ears of corn on Friday for my Mom, kids and me to shuck.  Then Saturday AM, we will start blanching it, cutting most of it off the cobb and freezing it.  It is a hybrid mixture of the best corn ever!  Yummy.  So I have a lot of work for the weekend.  But it is so worth it in January to have that corn in Corn Chowder or veggie soup!

My watermelon is starting to bloom!  

The radishes are doing terrific.  I wonder when they are going to be ready?
The white looking things are actually my snap peas.  The camera flash made them look a lot lighter than they are.  But they are doing okay.  I think we need to water tonight.
See under the middle yellow bloom?  There are two little stalks?  Those are cucumbers. 
You can see the zucchini growing on the left site.  Objects in the picture are bigger than they appear.
Our beans are vining.  I can't wait to have green beans, potatoes and ham for supper!

These are the tomatoes.  We got them all staked this weekend. 
This is my cabbage plant.  I love cabbage in soups and Hopefully I can make cabbage rolls!

So how is your garden?  Let me know!

Happy, Happy and not so happy....but mostly happy!


iFellowship

Happy, happy!  It's Hump Day, the last day of June, our last choir practice until September...lots to celebrate.

The kids had their first marching band practice.  They were in the back parking lot of the school in sections marching away when I got there.  The most exciting news they had was that they are doing music from Journey!  Last year Chicago, this year Journey!  Of course I am assuming that some of this is due to the GLEE excitement, but that just adds to it!  The kids are excited.

I asked Son how he liked his first band practice.  He said it was good.  I asked him if it was better than he expected and he shook his head yes vigorously. 

Last night, I was home putting dishes away and aggravated a rib that keeps displacing itself.  Luckily, I go to the chirpractor this evening to get it checked, again.  He will have to put it back in place, again.  OUCH!  I pretty much scream the whole time I am on the table until he gets the thing that looks like a sander or car waxer.  It massages my whole back.  I gotta get me one of those. 

I don't have much more to say, so have a great one.  I'll update you on the garden tomorrow. 

Oh, yeah!  If I get 100 follower today, there will be a give away this weekend!  So let's cross our fingers!
