Bountiful Harvest, Bunnies, and Blooms

Mid-summer is always a colorful time in our yard! Here are some pictures of some of my favorite blooms. We also picked our first vegetable "crop" consisting of 11 pea pods and one cherry tomato, pictured below. There will be plenty more to come, as the cherry tomatoes are just starting to ripen. I am also posting a picture of one of several baby watermelons that are growing in our yard. The quarter beside it will give you an idea of how little and cute the watermelons are right now! What appears to be a darling little bunny is actually a ferocious garden monster, believe it or not. (David constructed a bunny-proof fence around our garden this year so we could actually enjoy eating the veggies we planted.) Riley chased this litle bunny out of a patch of black-eyed susans and it decided to stick around long enough to pose for a few pictures.

Don't eat those peas all at once! You have to savor them. There's a lot of time and effort that goes into those babies.

looks like you will soon enjoy some great harvest from the garden. We attempted to move some of our garden and they look good so far...I will have to take some pictures soon. Glad you were able to get away...we went to Indiana Beach a couple summers ago, before Maria and had fun, we had some free passes! We are finally getting unpacked and things look pretty organized.
