Garden eats - Pt. 2

Pumpkin!!! They worked this year!





Huge corn! There are some baby cobs too!



Tomatoes on the verge or ripeness



A melon! Honeydew? Don't remember....



Delicious little tomato!



mmm



This has the potential to be an eggplant. We'll see if it grows fast enough, it got started late.

Garden eats

Many, many tomatoes!



Tomatillos (green tomatoes/husked tomatoes). There is a green tomato inside the "Japanese paper lantern."



Yellow squash



Zucchini - I'm letting it seed and then try to harvest those. It's bound to be to rough to eat!



Jalapeños



Celery



Pepper blossoms



Green peppers!



Poppy seeds anyone? They grew wild. I left them because they were intriguing. Apparently they take over so we may have a problem next year....

*warm fuzzy*

These are the flowers that a student brought me today! Actually, his mom brought them. She tried to give him credit but he wouldn't take it. I've been helping him through a summer life science correspondence course. We've been spending 12 hours + a week together for over a month! It's been interesting to say the least. We even had experiments to do (we failed at making bread mold...partially because his sister smashed it and his dad ate the other). He's off to Seattle for a week but I'm sure I'll see him again.

Minneapolis/ St. Paul - Part dos

Aww.....aren't we cute!

Minneapolis skyline!!!

Hanging out on the dock at Lake Como.

This 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse was delivering Pizza Hut pizza!!! WHAT???!!!

The new think on Grand Ave is 2.5 hr parking???

Minneapolis/ St. Paul

A weekend or two ago Charlene and I went to Minneapolis/St. Paul to see friends, Church members, and to have fun. We stopped at the sculpture garden, the one with the famous cherry on the spoon and decided to have some fun taking pictures.

Who is making fun of who?

And as you can see, Ken Champion joined us. He lives in St. Paul now so he's been added to our list of people to see when we are in the Cities.

The famous cherry sculpture! Charlene has finally seen it. There is nothing else for her to see in the Cities. It's all been done!

Luke doesn't like all the walking that Charlene has him do when they are visiting places.

This is Charlene with Alicia, her freshman roomate from college. They came up with many a depressing answering machine message while studying calculus together.
