 Baby Prayer Shawl Knitting group at FUMC is busy

We are now knitting hats and scarves for the Navajo people cause it gets very cold up there.  We are knitting hats for children with cancer at PCH, baby blankets and hats for baptisms and the newborn classes at the weekday school.  We started meeting for 2 hours in the afternoon, so we can get more done, visit and have afternoon tea!


My New Raised Bed Garden, 5 feet x 16 feet made by Javier - Thanks!

 

Notice the mosaic stepping stone, I have 4 different ones in garden 

 

The minute it got hot I covered it with shade screen
Some of my produce from Carol's Garden, winter & early spring
Tomato plants and lettuce going to seed
I had beautiful tomatoes all spring and summer, ate them, canned them and gave them away
     

Blossoms from my Museum Palo Verde

Jasmine flowers have such a sweet, soft, joyful scent


This is my Basil plant.  I had to cut half of it away to put in raised bed!

I totally slipped and didn't get a family picture!
However, we had a great and crazy time.  I really enjoyed Julian and Coraline who loved picking and harvesting from my garden.  I can't believe how much they loved picking oranges, broccoli and juicing oranges.  They are both very artistic and I still have some of their art work adorning my walls and refrigerator! 
Coraline helps me stir fry by adding veggies from garden

Julian and Coraline juice some of the oranges they picked

Looks like you are having a marvelous time! Your tomatoes and peaches are yummy, and you've inspired me with some ideas for my new (not yet built) raise garden in Cottonwood ❤.
