Saint Maria Goretti Camp

My two girls went to camp in Wisconsin this year...These pix are from the last day, when I picked them up.
A few of the sweet Nuns at the awards ceremony.

Summer Garden

This is our garden...12- 4x4 raised beds with trellises.
 
 
                                                     Tomatoes...                                                     

 
Flowers...
 
 
Pumpkins...
 
More flowers...
 
I don't have much of a green thumb. Some of our crop gets set upon by blight or wilt or bugs, but I do manage to get some fresh veggies out of our garden each year. I may even try a bit of canning this year! I usually freeze some beans and tomatoes.
 
What's in YOUR garden???

Seventeen!

My sweet eldest daughter turned Seventeen this year. It is a bittersweet time for me, I often miss the giggly little tree climber of years gone by. But I do enjoy sharing fun "grown up" times with her now...shopping, reading books in common, movies and girl chats. Still, time is going way too fast for me. God bless you Always, Sweetie!
