Pinto Bean Harvest
The pinto beans were in a patch that was flooded and partially washed out, not to mention attacked by rabbits (and a groundhog, perhaps), and overgrown with weeds (I was able to cultivate it ONCE - it was too wet the rest of the time). Anyway, I had to go in and pick what beans I could find. I was able to harvest probably 8-10 lbs of beans! Not bad considering the situation.
Filled in around porch
I moved and leveled the porch last weekend, but there were gaps around the house and base of the porch that I wanted to fill in with dirt. This weekend I got a couple of front-end-loaders full of dirt and fill in a bit.

| There was a hole on this side - in the corner next to the house, that I am pretty sure a groundhog had been using (or had plans to use) for a den. I wanted to shut down such a bad idea. |
European Hornets
I was in the kitchen when I noticed this guy on the kitchen screen door. These guys are all over the pears and apples! I need to figure out how to eradicate them! They are eating a significant amount of fruit and they are quite disturbing.

| They are about twice the size of a regular bald-faced hornet! Thankfully, they seem to be relatively docile. |
Turtles!
I caught these two doing this outside! Such naughty turtles! LoL
More summer squash!
Yep, well into fall now - but the summer squash are doing fine! Will this be the last harvest? The plants are looking pretty rough...
Winter squash (buttercup) are doing fine
There some decent looking squash coming on. Wouldn't have minded a few more - but maybe there are enough...
Confused Forsythia
I discovered a number of forsythia that were putting out blooms! They normally bloom in the spring. Weirdness.
Pinto bean picking continues
It goes slow with all these weeds! Hard to even see the beans in there.
