Let's not forget our veggie's
Back to summer ... my husband is growing gourds in a pot. I was sceptical
... but it seems to be working...so far. Now it's starting to head out on my clothesline which will be interesting.
There are about 5 or 6 baby gourds so far. Are gourds a veggie or a fruit? Hmmmm....
and don't forget the tomatoes. Now there are only two of us living in this household, so why do we need 17 tomatoe plants?
They are sure looking gorgeous right now. Of course, the squirrls haven't bothered them yet either.

Birds in the backyard

Caught this sparrow on the roof... Any other time I've tried for one of the sparrows they are never facing the right direction! I'm always catching their backs!

The male goldfinch came by today! And I had the camera with me!!!

Dusk at Pere Marquette Lodge
The back of Pere Marquette Lodge. A patio stretches across almost the whole of the backside. There are tables and chairs which make for a relaxing view of the Mississippi.
These were my first shots of trying to get a sunset. I don't know if I succeeded in what I was trying for, but I ended up feeling pretty good about the shots as a whole.
