Morning dew

It was a cool & dewy morning here today. Take a peek.



I don't know what this is, but it looked really cool! Also the light shining through was pure luck!







A faerie mushroom!

A little bit o' luck creeping up in my flowers.



My favorite photo of the day.


Also some of you have seen Kiera's tomato plant she brought home from school in June. If not, here's the over grown wild thing.


 As you can see by the illustrations, the plant has well outgrown a large tomato rack. What to do? What to do? Thanks to the Sailor all is well now!


As you can see we resorted to attaching fencing to the shed and wrapping the whole plant in order to support the whole thing. The tomatoes are too large to pick through the holes, but no worries it detaches easily for harvesting.

And thanks to my friend Jay in France I am currently caterpillar free!! He provided information on how to prevent tomato worms and other caterpillars & insects from ruining my plants & vegetables. I found this ugly, not to mention HUGE, guy and two more the next day feasting away on my plant!!.



The Sailor disposed of them and I used my new knowledge of organic gardening to keep anymore from showing up and to kill any eggs left behind. FYI search "Neem Oil" to learn about organic pesticides safe for fruits & vegetables.

It was a beautiful morning!

Kisses

**NOTE: I didn't use any special visual effects on the photos outside of adding a white boarder and my name tag.

    1. Thanks Becca!

      Believe it or not but the only camera I use is the one on my Droid RAZR phone. Unless I get serious about photography I don't plan on buying an actual camera.

  6. What a brilliant idea your Sailor had. I'm stealing this for next year. My cherry tomatoes plant turned into a gigantic octupus this year; I couldn't contain it! :)


    and that rose... that rose... (pic #7) Simply gorgeous! This is yoour little angel's rose, isn't it?

    So... starting to enjoy your vacation?

    Hugs

    1. Haiya Jon-Jon!!

      This is indeed my angel's rose. It bloomed so many times this year I was just blown away.

      My vacation is progressing marvelously! :D And just for the record... the cage for the tomato plant was my idea. However it wouldn't have been possible without the Sailors ability to execute my idea. LOL Next year we will try a large tomato & a cherry tomato plant. I will of course have to buy more fencing though!

      Gros Câlins et bisous

    1. Thank you Foam! I'm sorry I missed Haiku. I've been having a verbal WWIII with my internet provider. I am proud to inform you that Yes, I have won the war. I have my new router box and am ready to get back into action!! Thank you for letting me know about Haiku Monday.

  9. Beautiful pictures!!!!!!!! You are amazing. They really are all breathtaking. A friend of mine buy card stock, then cuts into card size, then pastes her photos on the front to give as greeting cards. You could do the same. Now many local shops have started selling them for about $4.50 a pop! They are more like little gifts when I receive one. And I must say, your profile picture in the sidebar is stunning, and no lie, very much reminds me of Chalize Theron!!! That may be my favorite profile of you to date!
