Even Keel

It's been a bit since I posted last. It's not that there's nothing going on, it's just that there's well.... nothing going on. Not in a bad way, a really nice, even keel, mildly scheduled good kind of way. Last week I started my fall bible study at Dogwood Church and I took D with me to the childcare. It's not like his first day of school or even his first day of preschool, but it seemed like a big step, for me. These next few pics are D looking all grown up on his 1st day.

Running away....

Climbing....

and very proud of himself. He's so old!

There, that's better, more baby-like.

On a completely unrelated and less interesting note, here is my garden. It looks like September. Starting to be a bit burnt-ish looking. I am in the process of drying all the rest of the tomatoes for use later in something. Notice the eggplant is still doing well. Anyone have any good recipes for eggplant?

This is it from the other side. You can see some of my fall veggies are planted. Brussels sprouts on the right, broccoli in the middle and peas on the left. The broccoli is hard to see because many of the leaves have been eaten by bugs, great way to start the season.

Speaking of pests, here is a very hungry caterpillar that I found on a pepper plant, he was....full. Doesn't he look happy? Huge, really huge.

I moved him elsewhere, maybe he's a butterfly by now. Ty would have kept him for a pet I'm sure, but I think he would prefer his freedom. Here's to a happy life, little green guy.
