A birthday and those cooler mornings...


















We are out in the garden most mornings, picking what is needed for the day. The weather is beautiful; cool and sunny.
The peppers seem to have a lot of new blossoms as do the beans. We may have produce well into the fall this year. We are to have a long and warm autumn which will be really nice, I'm sure.
That's some of my family; my siblings and Joe's partner, Joyce. We had a fun morning celebrating the retired-guy's birthday and filling bags with veggies for their weekend meals. It's always good to get together. Our mom passed away nineteen years ago and since then we do our best to keep the get-togethers and special celebrations an important part of the calendar. We live close so we can do that. :)
Annie enjoyed their company and even Audrey rose from the dead to say "hello" today. But she soon found her hidey-hole to be the preferred spot for the rest of the day. Enough of these humans.

There is a little more celebrating on the agenda today. Lunch out and a bit of an outing to a favorite little town to see some boats come in. That's what the birthday boy requested.
Retired-guy and his grand-dog, Forrest.

I'll send you over now to a beautiful blog and wish you all a fun and happy weekend. It's a long one for us.

  2. Happy Birthday to your husband! He's a keeper, isn't he? Love how you share your garden, too. My pepper plant has yet to produce but now has lots of blossoms! haha. Maybe it was just too hot until now.

    Big smile here as I got to the end of your post. You're so sweet. :)

    The bolt hole will come in very handy for Audrey on cool mornings.

    Lovely post Deb and guess what, neighbors kitty Nala jumped into my lap today, purring, and actually cuddled with me!!! I think she's over her shyness - now I get 5 more days with her and hopefully more snuggles!
