Vintage sheet goodness!!!!! I am officially addicted to collecting these treasures.

Slim Pickins'

I worked in the garden last weekend in preparation for a party and I picked the last of the tomatoes that remained. This was it. Not too many as you can see.

I harvested all the tomatillos since the plant had died off completely. My daughter picked a bunch of green onions and I picked a couple of serrano chilis.....Salsa was just around the corner.

Gone Thrifting!

I have been really into thrifting lately. I have been on the lookout for vinatge pyrex and vintage linens. On Thursday I went to a thrift store that I had found by accident and oh boy did I score. I ended up with all the sheets above and several other pillowcases not shown. One of the sheets was Vera Neumann.

I replanted my epidendrums. They were in two large pots and many of the canes were dead. The red and purple are currently in bloom.

Our mammoth sunflower plant is growing like a weed. We planted all our sunflowers along a fence on the east side of our house and several of the flowers (including this one) are facing east which means that they are looking into our neighbors yard. I planted 4 different types. Mammoth, Mammoth Grey Stripe, Autumn Beauty, and Velvet Queen. Only one of the 4 mammoth seeds made it so I am not sure which one of the mammoths my plant is.

Our spaghetti squash plant has

its 2nd blossom today. We planted this one from seed (Burpee) that we bought at Target. It grew too big for that part of the garden that it was in so I transplanted it to this location. It looked like it was going to die for several days afterwards but it has bounced right back and is getting bigger by the day. Hopefully we'll have some little squashes sometime soon.
