I sit them on the windowsill so they can ripen up a little bit better. And yes, that is a wishbone at the far end of the sill from a whole chicken we had. I like to let the bone dry out, then Neal and each make a wish and each pull an end. That is if Ferris doesn’t sniff it out first and chew on it like a dog.

My beefsteak tomatoes are still green, so they can’t be picked yet. But there are TONS, so I’m going to have to figure out what to do with all these tomatoes! I might have to look for a homemade tomato sauce recipe!

I made the most bangin’ chicken enchiladas Sunday night. Seriously. These were amazing. And very easy. Neal and I were both really happy with them. Tad had a bite or two of my leftovers at lunch today and agreed they were good.

I found the recipe here.

Kitties are still loving the new room. Ferris actually wouldn’t venture out from under the bed for two days. Not sure what that was about, but he’s OK now. Neal and I are hoping to start working on the trim in the room this weekend.

Think that’s all for now. I did get a photography booklet in the mail that I ordered from Amazon that focuses on my camera, the Nikon D60. I really want to get better at photography, so I’m hoping the book helps. I’ll try to post as I learn more stuff!

I have had on my “to-do” list to buy new flowers for my large pot I keep on my porch. After a phone call to my green-thumb mother, I had a list of plants to buy. I ran to the local nursery and believe it or now, found what was on my list.

I really like coleus, because I think the leaves are pretty and interesting. I planted the coleus in its own pot.

And then filled my large pot with some dracinia, geraniums, sweet potato vine, ageratum (sp) and something else, haha. I can’t remember all the names now! I’m very happy with how it turned out.

And my beautiful lilies are in full bloom in my front garden. I love lilies. I know I’ve said that before on this blog. Something about them. They just make me happy.

Posting might be sparse this week. Neal and I are working a little bit each night in the attic. By this weekend, we should be ready to sand, and then remud any areas that need it.

I’ll keep you updated!

I love peonies so much, and light pink is one of my favorite colors!

Isn’t it pretty? I need to lighten some of the pictures. I can’t wait until the rain stops so I can take more pictures. Hopefully the blooms are OK! Peony flowers tend to get heavy and fall over.

We’ll be doing a lot of attic work this weekend. Can’t wait to make more progress! I’ll have updated pictures when we are done!

And my peony looks gorgeous! The buds are getting big everyday. And the flowers need a lot of ants to bloom (I have no idea why) and the ants are all over them. Yay!

I cannot wait until these things bloom. I absolutely LOVE the flowers.

We are working on the attic again this weekend. I can’t wait until I don’t have to see the stinkin’ drywall anymore!

To brighten my spirits, I’ll show you some photos of Neal and I starting our veggie garden. We took off last Monday, which was a BEAUTIFUL day and mulched and weeded and planted vegetable seeds.

Some of the mixed greens and arugula are coming up already! YAY! I could see the rows of green from my bathroom window. So I guess this rain is doing some good! And when it finally STOPS RAINING, I will take pics of the sprouts for you. Neal and I still have to purchase some tomato and zuchini plants. Hopefully we’ll get a chance this weekend or next to get them in the ground. I love homegrown tomatoes!
