7.9.13 Grandma's Garden

This is a hectic week for both Dan and I at work, so we're trying to fit in some easy suppers....leftovers Monday night, Tuesday night, Culvers! After Culvers, where Stacie and Dan enjoyed delicious butter burgers, and Joe sampled the Sour Dough Grilled burger and shared onion rings with mom and dad,(Growing out of kids' meals!) we stopped over to visit Grandma and see her garden.  To put things in perspective, we planted our tomatoes and peppers the LATEST we have ever planted, the  last Saturday of June.  Look at Grandma's tomatoes...

 

They are five feet tall, and loaded with fruit!

Here is one of her zuchini plants! 

Mom's yard is so peaceful and relaxing...green, quiet, with the wooden wind chimes making beautiful noise.

Mom had read in the paper that the salvation army was taking donations of fresh produce.  She was the first person to bring in garden fare!  They were pleased that someone had read the article and responded.  Mom spends about 2 hours a day outside caring for her yard, watering, mowing, etc. 

 Great exercise and so beautiful. We enjoyed the visit!
