Westie Rescue Garden Roots

Westie to the Rescue

Painting

We have been away from computers for a bit.

My dad went into the hospital for a few days, we thought,

and ended up staying two weeks.

He is home now and very happy to be there.

One nice thing is that on Thanksgiving Day the hospital

cafeteria gave us a full on Thanksgiving Day Meal for free.

Sweet potatoes, squash and apples, turkey, mashed potatoes...

you get the picture. We thought that was very nice of them.
Then later we had a lovely Thanksgiving Day dinner
that my daughter cooked. I ended up not doing very much
in the kitchen this year.

I did get a few paintings done today.  One of my westie boy

who probably thinks we have been off on vacation every day

the last few weeks. Not.  Outside he usually is at a running pace

everywhere he goes. And I tend to be slower with wellies on.

So our westie boy is the scout.

Organic Green Silverware

Today a fair wind brought

many creative ideas 

my way as I worked outside.

Why not make our own edible silverware?

Doesn't that sound fun?

It was for me.

Someone make dinner,

someone set the table,

and someone cut up the silverware.

Fun. Fun. Fun.

I love all of the little details.

This salad would make a

little woodland fairy happy, too.

I pulled weeds from the garden

and tilled part of it for the 5th time,

but who is counting?

Maybe the ideas come from the

jarring of the tiller?

Weeds or flowers or both.

They are still a pretty spray of white.

So many tiny flower petals

surround the golden sun center.

Connecting up with these friends.

Heirloom Tomatoes- Name Game

Would you like a pink ping pong tomato plant? One of the things I love about heirloom tomatoes is their names. Another great one, "Banana Legs". I want these why?...because of their names alone!

Beef has alot to do with naming tomatoes even though tomatoes still are vegetables when I last checked:

Beefmaster

Supersteak

Park's Beefy Boy

Park's Whopper

Then there is the plum connection:

Black Plum

Beaverlodge Plum

Lemon Plum

The empty sections-- already sold out heirloom tomatoes:

Great White

Hillybilly

It's amusing shopping for tomatoes. Most people were very serious bent over looking at the plants and names and I was laughing outloud. Who could think it would be so fun buying tomatoes?

Surprise Rabbit and Bunnies Cabbage Garden Art

Little Bluebird was jumping from cabbage leaf to cabbage leaf singing with all it's might. Wanita had to come out and lift up the cabbage leaf expecting to find a fat worm for bluebird. What she found was little bunnies playfully scampering about...and a very proud mother rabbit. Bluebird is a great detective. Yes, the garden is producing well.

Painting is 5 x 5-inches and up for sale on ebay.
