Overcast Days Never Turned Me On

After 5 straight days of rain, we finally saw some sun on Wednesday. I was overjoyed! Here are a few photos around my neck of the woods.

Here's a beautiful red sweet pepper being grown by Middle Child. We've had a bumper crop this year. She loves to eat them sliced with the grape tomatoes she also grows.
She's probably the only kid at the high school eating fresh vegies out of her lunchbox!

The return of the tree frog! This guy made his first appearance last year. He sits on our deck railing for a few days, soaking up the sun. Then he disappears. He ignores whatever we are doing, but seems to be wide awake.

This spot used to be where we had a second gas grill. The thing was old, so we pitched it and made a cute little sitting spot this year.

Signs of Homecoming Week in our neighborhood. I'm grateful that we don't have any football players or cheerleaders in our house.

Doesn't this remind you of Halloween? It's Middle Child's sad little crop of carrots. I could barely peel them, they were so knobby. She tried both container and within a fence in the backyard, but neither worked. She mentioned trying eggplant next year!
