Garden Update

I haven't had much time to get outside other than to walk to pups, but this morning my boys graciously allowed me to take some pics of our gardens. My guy put a piece of lattice in the re-christened strawberry garden to hold the cucumbers, which are growing like crazy. This morning I counted three flowers on the somewhat wilted, brown strawberry plants, so they're still hanging in.

I was surprised to see the cucumbers were already flowering, too.

I intended to get out there this week and cut some herbs for drying, but the road to Hell being littered with the best intentions . . . I will trim some chives today, at least, to cook with for my dinner.

I've been picking and eating radishes all week and yesterday gave some to our neighbors to try. This second bunch are again super crisp but not too hot.

The pole beans have topped the string frame and are looking very healthy.

They're flowering, too, so our odds of having home grown green beans at Thanksgiving are looking good.

Well, my gifted tomato plants that have some tomatoes on them have red tomatoes on them now, but the ends of every tomato are black so who knows if they're any good. It was a good experiment, but hopefully next year, I'll have my regular garden back. I hope.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.
