Thoroughly enjoyed my trip. Colorado Springs is an amazingly beautiful place, and there is so much to see in the area. We went up Pike’s Peak, visited the Garden of the Gods, saw the Air Force Academy, and went to Seven Falls. Saw lots of other stuff, too. Spent a lot of time with my wonderful, adorable grandsons, which was the best part of the whole deal, apart from watching Jen graduate.

I took more than 200 pictures, which I will be posting in a gallery eventually. I took one of them and made the wallpaper below:

Now, back to the garden. Got lots of baby tomatoes, the cukes are starting to fruit, and some of the peppers have blossoms. The plants are starting to grow up my arbor, as planned. The bush beans in the garden are being eaten by something, even with the cage, and they don’t look so good. It’s not snails, slugs, or any caterpillar I can find, and it just the leaves that are being eaten…completely, I might add. Not in bites or chunks, but the whole leaves(not the stems) just vanish…very strange.

The cantaloupe, watermelon, and zucchini are growing and blossoming, too. All in all, it’s going quite well. No time to relax, though, as it’s almost time to start the seeds for the fall garden…

Hubby got bored while I was gone and decided to build a really cool picnic table. It’s done but for the sanding and staining; I’ll post a pic when I remember to take one before it gets too dark.

Gotta go, got stuff to do…
Later…
