Random Garden Pics
A few snaps from around the garden this morning....
The wild side; got pumpkins rambling about, a bunch of weedy looking flowers, & tons of other fun stuff.
The mint I got from a fellow gardener; planted in a lovely concrete square that I couldn't resist dragging home from the scrap yard
Herbs are doing well, & the beans have decided to start growning like weeds; pretty soon the steel sculpture will be completely covered :)
Another sculpture being overtaken....
And, the sunflower forest (I got a little carried away this spring) Some of them are at least 8 feet tall! It's been fun watching them grow; they're like giant weeds :)
We have been enjoying fresh tomatoes almost every night, along with basil, a few kohlrabi--don't know how to spell that one-- Soon now I'm going to have tons of beets to pickle, along with the carrots that are planted everywhere :) I've given a giant zucchini to all the neighbors that are close; going to have to start branching out... And eggplant; what the heck do I do with it?! I have 2 lovely bushes full of quickly ripening eggplants, yikes!

Idaho Business Review Top Projects Trophies
Cute trophies that I just delivered for the Idaho Business Review: Top Projects Awards. These were lots of fun; misc. little parts & pieces, nuts & bolts, & lovely acrylic plaques made by Joe at Laser Art :) The IBR presents these awards every year to the top 3 projects of the year in 3 different categories; this is the 2nd year I've made trophies for the event... hope I get to make them again next year!

Bergdorf Hot Springs
On Monday night, the husband & I drove up to Bergdorf Hot Springs; it's about 30 miles north of McCall. We stayed in a cute little rustic cabin (with no electricity-there is actually none on the whole property) and we soaked in the pool & enjoyed the view. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get away...cabins can be rented by the day or week or month. The pool was just the right temp; all naturally fed by the spring. Check out the pics:
The pool; perfect....surrounded by logs & it has a gravel bottom...
One of the cute little out-buildings; notice the chickens in the background...
The greenhouse-with the run-off from the pool flowing underneath to keep it warm in the winter; how cool is that!
Me; in front of our little home for the night (bad pic)
