Veggie Heaven

The dog days of summer continue.  We ran down to Coushatta today and loaded up on veggies, some of which you can see here.  We bought lots of sweet corn, 1/2 bushel of speckled butter beans, 1/2 bushel of green butter beans, 1 bushel of purple hulls, a bag full of new potatoes, four Armistead sweet onions, some freestone peaches, lots of tomatoes, two cucumbers, and one zucchini.

Steve begged me to get the peas already shelled this time, so we did.  He's kind of over pea shelling this summer!  We've spent the afternoon putting up corn, peas and butter beans so we are good to go for the winter!  I'm like a squirrel when it comes to putting up food for the winter.  Love my fresh veggies!

They are really praying for rain down there.  As we drove and looked at the corn fields along the highway you can tell who irrigates and who doesn't.  Lots of the corn is burning up in the fields.  At Lester's, they said they'll have two more weeks of corn unless there is rain.  They'll be down to peas, peaches and some tomatoes before too long.

We're just chillin' here in the AC now, watching baseball and playing with dogs.  Might fire up the grill in a bit for some burgers.

How's your Saturday going?
