Garden Monday
Now I’m cookin!

filed in gardening on Aug.15, 2010

Monday Garden Club .

It’s Garden Monday at Feet Off The Table!
.

Lot’s of happenings in the garden this week.  My lettuce.  Oy vey.   The seed packet clearly says iceberg lettuce with a picture of a HEAD of lettuce on it.   Well.  No heads here.  I ended up ripping these out of the garden since they were going to seed!  

My cucumbers are just climbing all over the place.  Mostly up the fence.  I even found one that grew into a pea plant.

I picked quite a few things this week, just look at this beautiful head of cabbage!

And the cauliflower is no longer tiny but ready for pickin! 

I even made a roasted veggie dish!  Not a tiny one, this one fed the whole family.

The next day I made stuffed cabbage and had enough for 11 rolls plus a pan of sauteed cabbage and zucchini in an onion and sweet butter sauce.

I had to thin out my zucchini’s as they were too crowded.  I never knew just how big zucchini plants got.  So I pulled out every other one.   The ones left were yelling in their tiny little green voices…..Air!  Sun!  Thank you!  And within a couple days, they have a lot of good new regrowth!

A Quote to Make You Smile
And a Flash 55

filed in Quotes on Aug.13, 2010

A day without sunshine is like, you know….night.
~Steve Martin

Lazy day.
A moment to just be.

Songbirds making melodies.
Fluttering hummingbird seeking a cool sugary sip.
Stifling  summer heat.

Not a breeze to whisper in my ear,
nor dry the beads of sweat.

Sun so bright I cannot gaze.
The camera takes the brunt to capture the glorious rays.

Home of the Flash 55′s here.

Behind the scenes! Senior pic photo shoot

filed in Raising Teenagers on Aug.07, 2010

MC’s senior photo shoot was a blast.   I swear, we lucked out finding this photographer a couple years back when Kaylee had her pics done.   He lets you pick ala cart rather than a package.  And it’s around the same pricing as if you ordered them from like a Walgreens or something.   Since she refuses to let me post her actual face on my blog (you know, future stardom and all…*sigh*) I’ve elected to post the behind the scenes shots which I shot of the photog shooting.

Locations are:  Cultural Gardens/Cleveland (Italian Garden), E9th Str. Pier/Cleveland, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (at sunset)

The ants go marching two by two
and…a Friday 55

filed in Nature stuff on Aug.05, 2010

Just when ya think you’ve seen just about everything….you find that little ants have taken up residence on your synthetic putting green.

They have systematically piled up the black coal slag infill and little balls of dirt to form a mini mountain around their new entrance way. Amazing.

*update.  just got back from visiting Jannie Funster’s tribute to G-Man’s Friday 55. So  I feel inclined to incorporate a Friday 55 into this post.  Here goes my 55 words:

He had free passes.
To walk beside legends.
Tiger.  Phil.  The gang.  Firestone.

She has a front row seat
beside nature watching busy little workers.
Snapping happily at their construction.
Marveling.

Hours later.  He tries to spot himself on tv.
In taped coverage of the day.

She blogs about ants.

    My favorite monologues from the series!

    Evolution is an imperfect, and often violent process. A battle between what exists and what is yet to be born. In the midst of these birth pains, morality loses it's meaning. The question of good and evil, reduced to one simple choice: Survive? Or perish? 2006 Season 1 Episode 6
