This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.
peas planted!

grand canyon hiking
I will eventually be back at my garden, but for now I'm hiking a bit. That speck in the lower right is me. The Grand Canyon is an awesome place to hike and camp!
We spent about 24 hours here. Overnight camping at Mather Campground (overnight low of 28* - bbrrr). Wapiti seemed to own the place and the nighttime chorus of coyotes was impressive (i.e. scary - my sister and I were sure they had surrounded our site and were moving in). Of course the canyon is beyond description. Just incredible.
... more of my Grand Canyon photos are here, at my Flickr site
I'm *SO* jealous!
ReplyDeleteYou're missing nothing but frosty mornings here. There were a few snowflakes over the weekend, but only for a few moments. Take lots of pictures!
Have a great time! Looks gorgeours indeed! And don't forget to post more pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
ReplyDeleteWe have booked some rim cabins for next eptember when we are having the trip of a life time to visit G Canyon and around there.
Can't wait!
Have fun! My husband and I hiked to Havasu Falls this year and visited with our girls in 2007, and I can't wait to go back. It's addictive. Yes, the coyotes are loud!
ReplyDeleteWow Beautiful! I've never been there before but hope to visit sometime soon. Enjoy your time out west!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
