It's August!?

Howdy! It's hard to believe August is already here. It had been rather dry (though continuous beautiful sunny summer days), and after some rain the other day we noticed our grapes exploded with more leaves and green grapes! We can't wait to replace Smucker's jelly with our own.
We are really NOT gardeners. But we were gifted with some plant starters earlier this season. Joe stuck them all in pots... and how exciting it was to see the baby tomatoes and peppers. 

Also, some perennial plants we bought last year have come back.. like these colorful lilies. It's just nice to have some flowers in life.

And it is summer corn season! We've picked up fresh corn from a corn/veggie truck for 2 weeks now, wishing our friend KK can be here and enjoy our fresh corn salsa with us.
