I'm back....

For those of you who are reading, thank you very much for coming back after I've had a rather long absence from the blog.  I am several days behind in any blogging activity and don't know when I'll be able to even halfway catch up.:-)

The Knock-out Roses in their second blooming.  


Crepe Myrtle with buds.  I don't understand the blurriness.

Blueberries still on the bushes.


Lima Beans  

Second planting of corn.

First planting of corn has been harvested, and partly cut down.

A cantaloupe!  Yay!!

This one is still green.

The asparagus patch in mid-summer.

I hope you have enjoyed this little walk around our garden.  We have harvested a very small cantaloupe, but the second planting of corn needs another day or two.  It would be good to have some rain at this point.  Things are fairly dry around here now, though some parts of town have received rain this week.

Hopefully I'm going to be able to resume some kind of schedule at this point, so I will be back very soon with something for  you.

Thank you so much for reading.  I truly enjoy your comments.

  3. Happy to have you back after your busy week! Your garden appears to be flourishing in spite of the lack of recent rainfall, and I'm sure you'll enjoy those cantaloupes and the remainder of your summer harvest for several more weeks. I'm sure you'll be planting for Fall crops soon, and those will keep you busy for some more months, if this year is anything like past years have been. I'm sure you look forward to getting back into your normal, hectic schedule! :-)

  4. Well, in looking over my comment, I'm sure I could have found a few more times to say "I'm sure!" Pardon my redundancy! :-)

  5. Hopefully you will get the much needed rain, although your yard looks like it is doing very well. I do enjoy a sweet cantaloupe. xo

  6. Your vegetables look good and a cantaloup!
    What a lovely rose. I love crepe myrtle too. Looks like a pretty colour.
    Do hope the coming week goes well for you and perhaps brings some rain.

  10. Life happens. Don't worry about a daily post, etc. Some of us just have too-much-gab-inside-of-us and find it easy to post daily. Most of the time.

    But everyone has times, when blogging gets short-shrift for this or that reason. You new post pops up on our way-we-each-follow-blogs. We see you. :-)

    "To the fairy land afar
    Where the Little People are;
    Where the clover tops are trees,
    And the rain pools are the seas,
    And the leaves like little ships
    Sail about on tiny trips."

  12. Just take your time. We have all been there and sometimes life becomes more important. We all understand. Your garden looks wonderful. We had corn the other night from the garden. I wished we had planted more. I hope you get more rain too.
    We will be here when you get back Nellie.
    Hugs from me to you.
