Whew, from start to finish in one day. One verrrrry loooooong day.
maters, peppers, squash (yellow, cocozelle, butternut), okra, corn, cukes and flowers. That is *hopefully* going to be one crammed garden! Lots of experimental (for me, anyway) techniques this year, I'm hoping it works.
Katie found this little turtle while she was mowing. How she spotted it, I'll never know. He was about 3" across and very fast. I was most suprised that she didn't ask to keep him. Good nature girl.
fishing was great Sunday afternoon. Caught lots of perch and this little largemouth bass.
Cake for a Boston Red Sox fan. Confetti cake with buttercream. yum!
Honor Heights Park in Muskogee. The azaleas and dogwoods are in full bloom and impossibly gorgeous. That's a long hike to the top!
Not so much posing, let me see a little more neck....not so much teeth, do you know how to smile with your eyes? Ok now give me something a little different. I can hear Mr. Jay talking in my head.
If you look closely in the upper left corner you'll see a bumblebee. wow, the bees were thick! It's hard to get a good picture of the kids when they're afraid the bees are gonna get'em.
chocolate and vanilla cuppies with ganache and buttercream
We did the traditional dye and the tie-dye method. We all agreed that next year we will only do the tie dye because it was so much fun and turned out so pretty. Although I am a sucker for the solid colors of my childhood and the smell of vinegar.
Grooms cake. Apparantly there is some inside joke to this, as the bride asked me to write FARMBOY on the cake.
Western style wedding cake. The piping on the center tier is taken from their invitation. Name of this cake is "Gettin' Hitched". This couple met as kids while showing animals in 4H. They wedding and reception were held in the County show barn. That's unusual. While I was setting up I thought to myself that it looked like it was going to be a fun wedding.
Red quince, always one of the first bloomers in my yard. Lots of thorns but the bees don't mind.
I wonder if my friend and I were taking photos of the same thing at the same time.
It's cool the way snow emphasizes the line and shapes in nature.
