Slowing..Stop..Shoot!

When I was coming home from visiting my daughter and family in BC yesterday evening I could see the sun setting through the trees. I couldn't quite get a good view but I could see the glow above the trees and I knew it was a good one. The miles went by and finally there was a clearing. A full amazing view of the glowing sky!  I seized the moment and flipped on my signal, flipped a U-turn, and captured this amazing moment in time.

  

Gathering

My gathering. Cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, hot cherry peppers, tomatillos, green beans, 

rosemary.

Harvest

Today I pulled up the last of my yellow and orange carrots, along with bunches of mixed greens. Everyday I pick a BIG handful of green beans and a BIG handful of cherry tomatoes. My Fall crop of sugar peas and lettuce seem to be doing fine. I have several kinds of tomato plants in my garden and thanks to all of this wonderful sunshine lately they are finally turning red!! I can't wait to make my salsa. I have tons of tomatillos that are coming along as well. I will be making salsa verde with those.

The yellow carrots are sweeter than than the orange ones.

Golden tomatoes...sweet!!!! Green beans.

Tomatillos.

Early Bird

That's me...an early bird!! I love the crisp air, the sky and how quiet it is in the early morning's. Most people are still sound asleep when I rise and shine! There is something about hearing nothing expect the birds singing. This morning when I looked out of my window at 4:30 the moon and stars stood out on a sheet of black. When I opened the door to get a better view the crisp air surrounded me and captured me. Every single star was clear as a bell this morning not a cloud in sight. I stood in awe and then got my camera. This was the morning I wished I had a better camera. Wow, what a sky!!!

The moon and a zillion stars. Sorry they didn't come through in the photo...I enjoyed them for you!!
