a couple of shots from my morning atv ride.  shaping up to be another beautiful day in the Valley!

The colors and textures of the wares at the farmers market always catch my eye.  This year it's the peppers and onions....and the eggplant.  Love the purples of the eggplants.

This is an almost mature Crimson Sweet Watermelon.....bright red flesh, large black seeds ....up to 40lbs..... a lotta watermelon.   A favorite.

yes, I like pumpkin and I think the ones Diva grows are absolutely the best tasting in Nicollet County -- dang varmits .... the keep munching away.

the "colors" of the season

cosmos -- bright lights..... in the big garden

this weekend's sewing project..... ready to press, square up, baste it up and lastly get it quilted.

red tint to the apples -- since our weather has been so awful...it's still 90' so it's hard to think fall -- but it is not far away...
