Iris Plant Sale

Thorny Guy and I hit the Carver County Master Gardener Fall plant sale and picked up a bag of irises. We were hoping for different colors than we have now, but had to go just off the descriptions as they did not have pictures. This is what we ended up with. My favorite after finding pics on the internet is 'Lightening Streak'. Now to figure out where to put them all!

Cherry Pie

We made a cherry pie from our tart cherries we picked earlier this summer. This is the pie before it went into the oven. I forgot to take a picture before we ate it... it was yummy!

Garlic pulled

The garlic has been pulled and is curing in the barn. Vampires beware.
