Outdoors at the Barn and in the Garden

I hope the heat wave is ending for some of you people. Here in Ohio we've had a pretty good summer (heat-wise). Thanks to Susan for hosting Outdoor Wednesday. Now go over and take a look at her wonderful site: http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/


Some of my outside photos of the day. I spent half the day at the barn.
This is Preacher coming over to say hello.


Satire is just happily grazing away.


The fly masks not only keep the flies out of their eyes and ears but sort of act like sun glasses!

In My Garden:
The little tomatoes (Sweet 100s) are putting out everyday. My big tomatoes are good size but haven't turned red yet. (And "No" I don't like Green fried tomatoes!)


The beets are ready. They are so sweet!


Just two pepper plants. One green and one red. Both sweet.


The acorn squash are ready. Mmmmm. I cut it in half long ways, take out the seeds and bake. The last 1/2 hour I put a big hunk of butter and brown sugar in the middle of it.


Produce of the day.
Hope everyone is having a great week. Happy Wednesday.
Shirley

  3. Looking yummy Shirley. Our heat wave has passed. We are about 20-30 degrees cooler. Lots of forest fires though.
    Your horses are very handsome.

  6. Very Nice - just wondering do the acorn squash take a lot of room? I've often wanted to plant but not sure how much they spread - we do plant watermelon so I'm thinking it can't spread more than that :)

  7. It is so thoughtful of you to put fly nets on the horses. You have a plentiful garden. Enjoy all those fresh veggies.
