Guess who...

learned to "look pretty" in just a matter of days. Ha! Mommy and Daddy weren't too sure about this one. They thought I wouldn't get it. Silly pawrents, tricks are for kids. What's next? Hmmmm. Do you have any cool tricks that we should learn?

Week thirty two in the garden

Look who's starting to look more like an orange.

Our experience with chives has told us that they thrive in the winter. We'll have our paws crossed that this herb will have doubled in size by Spring.

Parsley is the herb that keeps going and going and going....

What should Mommy make with the swiss chard? Do you have any suggestions?

Mommy told me she'll be using a ton of kale tomorrow to make zuppa toscana.

The cherry tomatoes are still growing. We hope to harvest a few more before First Frost.

A gift basket for me!

Look what we received as a gift today. Our friend Janis gave these to us today in the hopes Mommy is gonna make some Pomegranate jam. Daddy said I better be careful because these things stain and I don't want to look like a red Eskie. But I wonder if I ate too much of this fruit, would I turn into a red Pom Pom (Pomeranian)?

Today's harvest

Look what we picked from our garden today! A beautiful watermelon, a cantaloupe, one carrot, and lots of bell peppers. I hope we get to cut into the watermelon for dessert tonight. We've heard there is snow waiting for us at our cabin. We hope we can go see the white stuff really, really soon.

Bye Bye San Marzanos

We had quite a wind storm today. There was lots of whistling and howling going on outside. Our San Marzano tomato plant wasn't strong enough to withstand the fierce winds. We're thankful that the rest of our garden is okay. How was the weather for you today?

Wordless Wednesday: Why are these flowers hanging upside down?

Sierra's Scoop

I know Mommy used hot water and a soapy sponge to wash these dishes but I was hoping for one more taste of the yummy dinner she cooked tonight. I still smell the mushrooms and sausage right here on this spoon...too bad it doesn't taste like mushrooms and sausage. Maybe the smell of Mommy's dinner is just lingering around in my head. I can't wait for tomorrow when we have the leftovers.
