this conjoined squash will be used to serve man- with some tasty garlic and butter and thrown on a grill. it is the pinnacle of good summer eats besides really good skirt steak- which we will be eating any day now as well- as soon as we a>get propane b>get charcoal. as we have run out of both and so have no options. for me grilling is really the only way to go- i love it so.
which brings me to my jungle garden. this plant is particularly awesome as well and it's called "Love Lies Bleeding". This is an exceptional healthy one- usually they get top heavy early and flop over (hence the name) but this one is intact and taking over the world one step at a time- after that we've got the walkway which is now covered with pumkin vines- and our peach tree which a couple branches broke off of bcs they were too heavy. we've got about 8-9 of them- and the birds love them along with the sunflowers- i think we've got photos in there somewhere of what the pathway used to look like- and we haven't even finished it but we were too late- the vines, the summer- it all came too fast...
but we do hope for a good harvest of pumpkins- so that it surpasses the bounty of last year. i find it miraculous in any context that things grow and we can eat them. i mean what exactly is that- that things like squash were just growing wild then cultivated... or peaches... or these alien love lies things? where did they come from... the earth i think is just blowing my mind right now- and it maybe bcs i'm dopped up on some chocolate covered almonds from trader joes or just have drank too much water. i am totally boggled. seriously we have nothing on nature.
do you guys ever watch dirty jobs? that also blows my mind- things i never wanted to know- about where things went to or where they come from sometimes- and one in particular called a GEO-duck? or something. it's like this gigantic clam. that can live in the wild for over 100 years- and we harvest them and eat them satayed or sushi'd? i myself have never... but someone out their does- all over places like seattle i think.
anyway, phew okay- i'm worn out- nature. seriously. it's too much. i need to go lie down.

Nice cojoined squash.
The new background really looks good with these pictures. Now as to its affect on text...
Nice! I'm envious --when I think about the sort of place I want to live in one day, it is telling that I picture the garden first and the house second.
All the garden looks good!
My bro has a goeduck t-shirt. It's a Washington thing. He found it at a thrift store. I think it's the mascott of one of the ultra-liberal little colleges.
We always find it amusing to pronounce town names for people. All those Native American names throw them off. When you're born there, the pronunciation of Puyallup makes total sense :)
Summer veggies, yummm.
