Fresh beans and dinner too!
For dinner tonight, JD prepared a wonderful zucchini au gratin casserole. It was sooooo delicious!
After dinner, we walked the puppies and the big dogs, then headed down to the garden where we picked a bunch of beans, mostly green but some wax beans too! Also, harvested a couple more zucchini's along with a couple beets, they keep coming! We're very thankful the garden is providing us with fresh veggies! It's so rewarding to grow your own food!

Monday morning soaker....
I guess that I better start tracking the weather better! We are currently getting a much needed drenching and I'm loving it! There is nothing better than waking up to rain in the middle of the night, well, maybe there are some better things! :-) Anyway, as all of you with garden's can relate to, free water is like gold! I soaked our garden last night for 3 hours. Even though it is well water, it still is water from the earth, which is no means an infinite source. I learned a valuable lesson, I need to keep track of forecasted weather conditions, period! Speaking of that, if anyone can shed some light on what happened to the wide variety of gadgets available for blogs from Blogger? I had a weather gadget and it has vanished into thin air?? The only one I can find does not allow me to keep it set to my zip code, it defaults to N.Y.
And by the way, I have no problem giving up a sunrise picture here and there for a nice rain soaked morning! It's still coming down, I bet we have gotten an inch or two. The puppies had no problem going out and getting wet this morning while they did their business, their mom and aunt on the other hand, took issues with the weather and went back to bed! Dogs!
Anyway, have an awesome day, rain or shine it's going to be a great one!
