O.K. I'm done!!! I think







Well, what do I do with my spare time? Besided wait, and wait, and wait? (we'll come back to that later ) Make stuff, of coarse. And to tell you the truth, I really am tired of canning things, weither it be tomatoes, or pickles, I hope our little garden is almost done for the season. Actually I could not have put up so much salsa, spagetti sauce, taco sauce, enchilada sauce, and chili sauce without being givin like a gazillion tomatoes from my sister in law, THANKS!

Besides all the sauces, I have made regular pickles, spicy pickles, pickled tomatoes, pickled okra, pickle relish, and chow chow (I know what you're thinking, and NO it is not dog food, it's a kind of relish, southern style) oh, and the Tabasco peppers!

How big was my garden? Not very we have two tomato plants, 3 green bell pepper, 1 purple bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper (although they never turned yellow) 3 tabasco pepper plants, and three cucumber plants. It's nice to go out and pick our own, fresh veggies!

















Now on the wait. I know that I have not mentioned the adoption much lately, but to be honest there really is no news. We are basically just waiting (for who knows how long!) to be matched with a baby. It's really not that simple though. They are processing the paperwork in order of when it was received, and the latest lucky ones to get their referrals waited just about 12-13 months. So if things do not speed back up, we probably won't get to see our baby's pretty little face until at least April of next year. Clearly NOT what we were planning on, but we really can't do anything about it. Trying to be patient!

The rest of the gang!
























Here are the rest of (almost, I do have a few more) my Daylilies. They are as follows, Hazel, Tuscawilla Tigress, Indian Pumpkin, Prairie Blue Eyes, Gentle Shepherd, White Parasol, Condilla, Becky Lynn, Fires of Fuji, and last but not least one of my newest ones Bella Lugosi. As I said before, Daylilies are among some of the easiest flowers to grow!

Some of my Daylilies

These are just some of my Daylilies, for some reason blogger will not post any more pictures right now so I will post the rest later. Believe it or not Daylilies are really easy to take care of, and they are suppose to be edible, but I will not be trying them that way, thank you very much! I am just happy looking at them for now.
Sadly, I know them all by name, from top to bottom we have: Havana Banana, Indian Giver, Charlie Pierce Memorial, Always Afternoon, Pirates Patch, Charles Johnston, Scarlett Orbit, Bold Red Eyes, Moon Witch, and finally Heart Getter. I will try to post the others shortly.

Wow, we feel much better!


Please excuse Dakota! He just doesn't know any better. Of course my husband says, "I wish I could do that!" Are all men perverts?




Anyway, I finally shaved these boys, like I said before, it just gets too hot down here in the summer time. Plus we have no trees in our yard for shade. Don't they look like the feel better though?
