thrift find and summer beauty

My newest thrift find!  A nice warm quilt in great shape.  My favorite part...the trains!  

 

When hubby is away at work (he works 24 hours at a time) I rarely fix dinner.  We usually just "find" something to eat.  But when I am in the mood my summer go to meal is eggs and veggies

Cheyenne peppers...accidently planted...I have no idea what to do with them.  We don't even like hot food. :)

Marigold

The raised garden bed doing great

Zinnias...I didn't plant near what I normally plant of these wonderfully cut flowers, and I am a bit sorry about that.  These flowers are one of my truest joys of summer.  They are so vibrant and last a couple of days in the house.

I have canned two things this year...green beans and peaches...and only one batch each, might I add.  Sometimes you just got to do what you can do.

Tomatoes...we are so excited to finally have a decent crop of tomatoes this year.  We usually get a few, then the plants shrivel up and die.  This year with the raised bed we are enjoying a continuing tomato feast.  Not enough to can, but that's okay, I'm just so pleased to eat on them fresh.

Odd picture?  A pigs feast!  I'm thankful to not have to waste food, but to have four wonderfully healthy pigs that get to enjoy everything and anything we don't eat.

 

Blessings,

JM
