PIctureof the day #176

 I figured since I took pictures of my wild roses I should take some of the others around my yard.

 This one is really more like a peach color or salmon...sure looks really pink here.

 This one is funny because it looks a lot like the wild roses but it is not.

 My yellow ones that are dying already...too funny.

 Then I just went ahead and snapped some of the other flowers

 They very pretty!

 These are some we got at the Borah greenhouse last year...I don't think they did anything last year but they sure are pretty this year!

 Of course from the flowers I had to get the tomatoes and peppers

 From two angles

 And from there just to show how much the corn and potatoes have grown this week!  Crazy!

 Then to my weedy pumpkin sanctuary.  Yeah I know I need to weed

 But look at all these pumpkin plants...

 We haven't had this many is a long time...

 Our little sanctuary is working so far keep the squirrels out.

 I hope it continues when we get pumpkins!

We should have plenty this year!!!  Yahoo!  Did you know that when the pumpkins are small, like a little bouncy ball size, if you take a toothpick out and carve your name or a picture in it....it will grow bigger as the pumpkin grows.  It's pretty cook!

 For some reason our pods on this tree are red this year.

 Maybe they are like that every year but I have never noticed it before...

I mean really how can you miss all that red in the tree.  Any way I just think it is pretty!

Ode to Kollie

This is where our "dumb dog's" body is...but her spirit is up in Heaven with Grandpa and Grandma. (this picture was taken this morning.)

This is our "dumb dog",(she for whatever reason loved that name.  Every time Tim said she would come running no matter where she was or how loud he said it.), a few days ago...all tuckered out. She was 16 or 17...the vet was not sure if she was 3 or 4 when we got her.

   Thanks for the many years of happiness you gave our family...running up the stairs playing catch. 

Sleeping under the table or chairs using the legs as pillows

Or waiting patiently to be fed.

We will never forget how you would grab on to our legs when we walked away from you when you were younger, or how you would sit on the couch waiting for TerrieBeth and John to come home from Moscow.  So many fun filled memories that we can't list them all.

We love you!!!  And Miss you!!!

 Well I thought I would take a picture of our garden... the corn and the potatoes are growing leaps and bounds each day!

And my wild roses just make me smile each day...and they smell delish!!!  This is not a great picture but hey what can I say!
