The Recession Garden: Year Five
The rain has been great for our vegetable garden. The cucumbers have taken over and are crowding out the green beans. Okra plants are in the back.

A Garden Post
Not much sewing going on here so I thought I'd post some photos from my yard. We have had an exceptionally wet summer in Atlanta with rain and thunderstorms just about every day. This is in sharp contrast from the severe drought we had for the past 5 or so years.

We have one bed filled with tomato plants with some basil on the far end. The tomatoes are doing great and are growing taller than their cages. I envision lots of salsa and salads in the next week.

I have no good title in mind for this post
I've gotten waylaid on both quilting and organizing this past week.
And because blog posts with no photos are no fun, I'm including some flowers from my yard.
S.'s parents visited from out-of-town for the weekend and we had great fun in spite of the 3 inches (!!!) or so of rain that we had in 2 days. Instead of outdoor site-seeing, we went to two museum exhibits and dashed around with umbrellas and soggy shoes.
This week I came down with some sort of evil cold virus and was waylaid in bed all day Wednesday on my day off. Lucky for me I had two looooooong movies to watch.
Gomez and I watched The Hobbit. Wish I had seen it on the big screen but Gomez wouldn't have been able to come to a movie theater and he enjoyed sleeping on my shoulder for 3 hours.
Then Stella and I watched Lincoln. I knew this was going to be a great movie and it was. Stella slept curled up next to me for the nearly 3 hours of this movie. She completely missed Daniel Day Lewis' Oscar-winning performance. So that is all that is new here. I'm finally starting to feel a little better so there is hope for some sewing this weekend. Fingers crossed.

| Huge, ancient azaleas next to my house. I would never pick out this hot-pinky salmon color but I love these |
