Garden Visitors!

Our garden has seen four visitors recently! We were very excited to have my sister, Sixty Four Love Notes, come by with her hubby, Mr. W, and  have a look (don't you just love the photography and artwork on her site?!):

And then tonight, Kurt's parents came by to drop off a couch that we were fortunate to inherit from Kurt's sister and brother in law (thanks Jenny and Vince, it's so cozy!), so they came by:

Here's me and Kurt posing with Ulfgar - who happens to be very photogenic:

Look how happy we look! We love our garden! And we love our garden visitors! And we'd love for YOU to come by too!

So we've been seeing a lot of progress in growth lately. I swear you could watch the plants grow, it's that fast.


Look at these cukie cuties:

And the zucchinis are getting huge:

And watch out! The tomatoes are taking over!

The kale is nearly harvest size:

Oh here's a sleeping pup!

The beet tops are looking lovely:

And the lettuce is gorgeous:

We're actually starting to see some fruit - check it out and see if you can spot them. Sorry if some pictures are a bit blurry - I should bring my tripod.

We went on a trip to Asheville, North Carolina last week and had a great time. We toured the mountains and the city and ate lots of good food. Early Girl Eatery was my favorite. We stayed here, which was the perfect location - in the exact center of the city.

Here's Kurt communing with the mountains:

And here I am at a lookout on the way to Mount Mitchell, the highest mountain peak east of the Mississippi

We took the Blue Ridge Parkway, which I would highly recommend for great views. The mountains are amazing.

My photos don't do the mountains justice. It was gorgeous.
