A beautiful cabbage; yanked…too many bugs! Most brassicas are quite susceptible in my experience. Kale and kohlrabi seem the least so.

This picture is a good representation of what’s going on in the garden; lots of weeds, (hopefully!) winter squash, marigolds; and the tan blurry stuff in the right corner is garlic that needs harvesting!

Baseball season officially just ended! Here comes football! Aggghhh! (he is ready but I don’t think I am!)
Though we were paddling up river there is very little current on the branch. As you can see it would be possible to canoe around this island (which would mean canoeing out in the Missouri River; WOAH! Scary! (Maybe not yet with the kids).

These guys were headed to go around the whole island. (and note the long walk, complete with hill, from the parking lot to the levy/dam)

Here you can see where we put in (we went left!!!) I was nervous about avoid getting sucked over that thing (AGGGHHHH!), but it is easily avoidable if you are careful)
This was a fun little adventure though we are still eager to take the canoe to a nice clear river on which we would not be horrified/terrified/traumatized to swim in HAHhaha!
Hope you all are having a nice week!
The onions look like Dr. Suess characters. :) Love ‘Zilla’s gardening outfit, but not so thrilled about the Spy playing football… :-( He looks like he really wants to, so I guess all we can do is put extra Guardian Angels on duty. <3
:)
It looks like The Spy is gazing wistfully at that white water Ms Spy. An adventurer in the making methinks. That mud, “This silt is like the gluiest, stickiest slimiest thickest mud ever found!” is Earl’s idea of heaven. He sunk up to his chest in a muddy puddle on one of our walks the other day and your kind of mud would hold the promise of added stink as well. What joy!
Well, Smoochie and I met as whitewater rafting guides, so it is certainly in his blood! Yeah, Dexie would’ve loved to slop around with us but we left her home because we were afraid of her flipping the canoe! But next time she can come (when we go to the clearer/smaller/shallower river). :)
All are woderful but the onion seed heads are remarkably stunning captures!
Thank you!!
