Life on Barton Heights...Sunny, 79º today

Rusty and I are catching up with watering flowerbeds, and our garden is flourishing...We have picked cucumbers and tomatoes twice, cut back squash vines before they take over the entire garden...Zucchini and Patty Pans are slow to produce this year, but warm weather is in the forecast so we are hopeful...I reached into the straw in the potato bed, checking on the moisture, and came away with a huge potato, 1 1/2 pound Yukon Gold...OH MY!

I've made 10 jars of spicy dills, and yesterday bought 20 pounds of pears, (that have to ripen) and will eat all we want and can the rest.

Rusty is going back to Washington to work for a couple of weeks and is trying to get everything done here so I can do things easily, while he is away.

I'm finally feeling less sleep deprived, and might even get my suitcase unpacked today, or not?..I have acupuncture this morning, and we have leftovers for dinner...We are so enjoying fresh slice cucumbers, onions, cherry tomatoes with every meal and yesterday we had Swiss chard, seasoned with balsamic vinegar, I love this time of year and eating out of the garden!

That's one big potato

Another photo from Amsterdam of a bicycle, I tried to put a video on but it didn't work...Will try on FB...Hugs to All...OWAV:)
