Chewing on the can in the doggie bed? I was going to say Charlie Pup looks sad, but maybe stoned from the paint fumes?

By the way, I solved the tomato poacher problem. It was chipmunks, and now both Chip and Dale are in a better place.

First Silver Queen Sweet Corn

My poor, neglected garden at the park does not give up. It keeps producing all on it’s own. I set it up with a rain barrel and battery operated soaker hose timers, but still I only visit 2 to 3 times a week, spending less than 30 minutes each time.

What a treat to visit this evening and come home with about 15 pounds of produce. The most exciting was my first two ears of sweet corn. I have not grown my own sweet corn in over 20 years. The sound of them snapping off the stalk took me back to my… Continue

I Made Zucchini Bread!

I finally made zucchini bread today! I love to cook, but am not much of a baker. I chose a good recipe from FoodTV.com (thank you Paula Deen), took my time, and now have 1 beautiful large loaf, 2 cute small loaves, and 2 not so pretty tiny loaves. The “tiny” loaves were baked in very old toy pans, so I think that was the problem.
