A Teacher's Favorite Months

This summer I am working at home. Ok, well not actually for money, but you know working at things at home. Thought I would clarify for my non-teacher friends. :) I planted a garden, thanks to the plowing ability of a friend. Now I am mostly watching things grow. I will have to mow the area again, since the grass seems to grow at a high rate of speed. Weeding pretty much went to the dogs after my parents left from their visit. And it appears that my carpel tunnel is showing its ugly face again in my right hand. So needless to say, not much has been done in the garden. :(

We happily found one tiny baby watermelon yesterday!! There is hope. The cantelope flowers are blooming which means baby cantelopes are a comin'. Baby yellow peppers are a bloomin', marigolds (amid the grass)are popping out, basil is growing like crazy, we made fresh pesto last nite for supper, my attempt at peas have produced about 30 pea pods. I am hopeful that more will grow. It is so exciting!
