Spoiled rotten!

Greg was so excited to give my birthday present on Sunday....he just didn't want to wait until this week.....so I gave in (not that it took much convincing!)......and was I ever surprised! He got me a new coffee machine that replaces my espresso maker and then brought out the piece d'resistance!
I admit it....I am spoiled rotten....yep, it's a Nikon D60 SLR......I take so many photographs and with my scrapbooking, he decided I deserved a top quality camera. I'm so excited....I will be taking a photography class and hope someday to do some nice photo work for submission to magazines and publications.....I am spoiled!

It's a Great Harvest, Charlie Brown!

Our garden has gone from manageable to insane! Here is the proof of what we are picking every 3-4 days.
Zucchini, spaghetti squash, peppers, cucucumbers, tomatoes and cherry tomatoes
This gives a great perspective on the size of our tomatoes.....they're on steroids!
This bounty was picked 4 days before the top picture.....our neighbors are benefitting from this as well!

Laboring on Labor Day......

We spent the entire weekend putting the rock down in our dry river bed - almost 8 yards of the heavy stuff! Our muscles could tell stories about the abuse we put them through! But it's almost done and we are very excited to be finished with this stage of the landscaping project. Now it's time for the drip irrigation and moving sprinkler heads! Yippee!!!!

Greg shoveled and pushed the wheelbarrow; my job was to spread it all out! I was also busy with weeding the back flower beds.....where does it all end???????
Even Rusty had to work. He found the core from the fabric barrier and decided he needed to labor right along with us!
He's guarding his "toy!"
All done except for about 6 feet - we are short on the 2" river rock. Another trip to the rock yard for us.
Here's a look from the taxiway; we tied our rocks in with our neighbor's rock and it looks really nice. We will add the larger rock soon. (Our muscles won't like us then either!)
