It's the eye of the...

PIZZA? Insert eye of the tiger song here. Eye of the pizza, its the thrill of the bite. Thats all I could come up with. Mainly because I don't know all the words to the song..As the last seeing mushroom stalks his prey in the night, rising up to the challenge of other toppings..I think I'm so funny..

Ok, so this is a mushroom..Let me tell you the story. Friday night B/F and I ordered a pizza. Its a Philly Steak pizza and it has green peppers, onions, mushrooms and steak on it.. with some kind of white sauce or something, anyways, minus the mushrooms, and the onions I can see, its good. Well, I opened the box and this was looking at me, and I laughed and said "You have to come look at this mushroom". And I thought it was so funny. And I even kept it..Its in a ziploc in my fridge..staring at me when I go in the fridge...Even looking at it now, I'm laughing. Its so creepy looking...Moving on! Here is my daisy. Now, this is a gerbera daisy that we bought 2 or 3 years ago, I think they are supposed to die , but I've had luck with 2 of them.. This on I love, and I hope it never dies!

What else, ooo, I have flowers and little tiny beans growing. I'm excited for them, they were so much fun last year. I would come home from work and pick 10, 20 or 30 beans every day. Its fun. I also have a bunch of peas. Now these..lemme tell you, first a bunch of them didn't come up, then some of them got eaten off..plus they are supposed to be a small variety that doesn't need a trellis (the ones I wanted got like 6 foot vines) well, no one told me they would need a stake or something. They are like a a cross between a vine, and bush.. because I didn't stake them so the grew about 6-7 inches then flopped over then grew up some more. Its like they can't support themselves. They are so crazy. But I'm trying to get them to grow up-right. Either way they are getting peas, so that's really the important part. This weekend was pretty nice, it rained most of the day on Saturday, but Mom and I moved the fence that is around the pumpkin, because it was trying to bust out! Hopefully, it will be happier now and have enough room , I mean they grow for another 2+ months. Well, I think that's all I have for you peoples today. Happy Tuesday!

How does your garden grow?

Mine grows FAST! The first pic is of my pumpkins. Aren't they cute! I took that pic on Saturday, about a week after I started them, one of the seeds I soaked for most of the day and the other one I didn't because it was an after thought, I didn't think that they would grow. Let me tell you the story. Two years ago, the B/F and I went and bought a pumpkin. And I saved the seeds from it and I sort of followed some instructions on how to save the seeds, I washed them and then put them on some newspaper to dry (FOR TWO YEARS) then I pretty much forgot about them. And this year I was all "hey, I'm going to see if they will grow" and they did. So now back to the original story. They just popped out of the dirt, its been so hot and dry here and now they are working on the second set of leaves, I took pictures of them but they didn't look as good as I thought they did. So just picture them in the ground and bigger :)

This pretty little flower is a gazania (might be spelled wrong), my Mom really likes these little flowers, and we have never had a pink one, only orange and yellow, both of which are pretty. But I liked this on and thought that I would share it.
The cat, is not mine, its the neighbor's brother's cat, his name it Dagwood, I call him Dag. He only has a nub of a tail, and he meows a lot. But now his owner is gone, because they got into a fight about something, who knows. But the neighbor made him leave and he left the cats, one of which lived in our garage for like 3 days. I don't know where that one is, I think in the other garage. Dag is a helper, likes to follow you around the yard and talk to you. I was pretty sure he was going to jump in the car with me this morning. I feel bad for him though, because he's all alone and he's a good cat. So we feed him and leave water for him, and pet him till we figure out if his owner is coming back for them. I didn't really do very much this weekend, because it was like 90+ degrees and humid and just plain gross outside. Hung out, did laundry, and tried to stay inside until like 8pm when it started to cool off (barely) and I did go for a few short bike rides. Hopefully, my pumpkins will grow like crazy and then I can sell them along with my veggies. I know nothing about pumpkins and since these were farm pumpkins and I have no idea how big the get or how anything. I know that they are a vine, along the ground. That's all I know. So maybe I'll have to do a little searching so that I know what I'm getting myself into. Of course, I will keep you all updated on that. Well, I think that's all I have for today..

Hello Tuesday!

Pretty flowers! These are growing in our garden and they are so pretty, I took these this a.m. before I left for work.

Here is a picture that I took the other night and I thought that it would count as a landscape for the Funky Photo. I have other ones but this is the one for now. I have a few vacation pictures that are pretty cool. If you think this "landscape" looks familiar it is- it's my yard(provided that you have seen my yard before, obviously) minus two HUGE elm trees that were cut down in the fall. We think that they had dutch elm disease. So if you see the pots on the left side, there used to be a tree there and then if you go across to the right, where there is a black line that used to be a tree.. Well I think thats all I have for now, maybe for today, I have lots of work to get done.
