| The clouds are hanging low for September. |
Wednesday morning we found the weather was very low. The fog was hanging just at the tops of the trees and making this place look like Alaska. When it is foggy like this in the morning it usually clears early. The dog and I walked up to the watermelon field and crossed the street to see if the geese were there today. They were not there in the field where the dog had spotted them last time so we walked on back home. Once in the yard we walked around to the back yard and had a look at the garden.

| The okra is standing tall. |

| Will the peas stay in their place? |
The okra is about chest high now and is producing heavily. I will be cooking some peas this weekend and I will put some of the okra to good use. I will also be gathering some to take to my mother who really likes to fry okra. We also stopped and looked at the peas which are doing very well. The ants are trying to mess up some of the plants with aphids but a little sevin dust will take care of them. The only part of peas I don't like is all the shelling they require. I will just sit in front of the TV and shell peas and watch a boring program and before you know it the shelling is done. I want to freeze as many of the peas as possible for use later this year. I like my garden vegetables in the winter. It is like having a little summer in December. Remember to get out and walk a little if you can, it will be cold soon. Thanks for reading my blog. Bye.
