Keeping Busy

Why do people keep coming into this place?

      We went to Sherry's last week to help move some furniture for her. You should of seen Sherry and me pushing her couch thru the porch door while Jeff pulled it! Jeff wanted to stop at the Pro Bass Shop at Riverside on the way home and they're 'dog friendly' so Fanny and I sat in their lounge area while Jeff drooled over...looked at... boats. The sales help was very taken with Fanny and kept offering her dog treats but she wasn't too sure she wanted to be friends and after this photo she spent her time between my legs and the chair! 
   Yesterday we sat by the garden and enjoyed the weather.  Jeff checked the plants before starting to water them.  The zucchini...one of 3...had grown

One of 3 zucchini doing well.

 very fast and we'll be picking them soon...before the critters get to them!  The yellow squash has died back...something got to them but  the acorn squash has spread like crazy but this squash (below) is the only fruit we found on it so far.  Hope

Kind of cute...for a squash!

we get some more soon.  This is my favorite squash.  Looks like an old fashion light bulb hanging there, doesn't it?  As long as the critters leave it alone....

A Bean Tower...or Christmas Tree?

Farmer Day checking his crops

   The bean tower is full and we'll be picking beans next week.  Jeff's planning to move the bean tower closer to the house next year.  He'll have to decide which boxes will have potatoes next year, too, so he can add sulfur to the soil this fall in an attempt to lower the pH.  Between powdered sulfur and water straight from the well, the pH has gone down but not low enough to get large potatoes or large red and blue potatoes anyway.  The white potatoes did fine.  The cantaloupes don't seem to like growing in the shade of the bean tower.  They're flowering but so far no melons have formed.  Nothing on the watermelons on the other side of the garden, either.
   While Farmer Day has been busy I've been busy  too, knitting.  I've done 2 hoodies, both size 9 months with back zippers and Henley fronts.  

One is lemon with sunflower buttons and the other is a red, white and blue baseball sweater with baseballs buttons.  They're ready so Steve can take them to the shop when he works later in the week. Hope they sell!
