July Photos (or lack thereof)

Sorry about the lack of July photos. This month has totally gotten away from me. Honestly, I didn't even think about snapping some shots until about the 10th of the month. My excuses are twofold: our blasted kitchen remodel and Johanna's move. 

Johanna moved into our basement last weekend and I am thrilled to have her here. Top on her list is getting our garden under control. We have neglected it a lot in the last month and haven't mown nearly as frequently as we should have. It looks like an untamed jungle out there. 

The grass is almost mid-calf height. It's insane. Also, we have volunteer squash plants that have come up. One is in our compost pile and it looks like it is on steroids simply because it is thriving off of straight compost. The other one came up amongst out strawberry plants and has now grown to such proportions that it has reached up and snagged a branch from our fig tree and is making it's way further up the tree. 

All in all, our garden is a shambles. But in the next week or so Johanna will have it back under control and then I'll get some shots for the beginning of August. Until then I am off to enjoy the first lazy days I have this summer.
