There is not too much going on out in the garden. I'm afraid my zucchini have succumbed to some sort of blight. Here I thought we would be overrun with them and we've had ONE zucchini (it was tasty, though).
We have had a number of birds visiting our yard lately. The photos aren't great, but these are cedar waxwings perching on the kids' picnic table and in the apple tree.
I have a number of gladiolus out - dark red, bright red and purple. They took quite a beating during the wind storm that was our share of Hurricane Irene.
When I was looking out the kitchen window at the red and purple side by side, I was reminded of my piano teacher. I know, I'm weird. She used to wear a purple cardigan over a red dress a lot.
This one is really bent over from the wind.
We're getting ready for a family barbecue tonight. My sister-in-law is home from Alberta and my brother-in-law is over for the weekend from New Brunswick where he is currently stationed at CFB Gagetown. So, we're having a big family get-together. We're having barbecued pork chops, hamburgers, and hotdogs as well as corn salad, broccoli salad, potato salad, and jellied salads. I'm making a Greek pasta salad to take as well. Should be delicious!
Thanks for visiting today!
