Yep, I live in the Midwest all right! :-) (And so do you!)<br />Heat would be okay, if we just would get some rain along with it!<br /><br /><b>Mia ~ </b>I will miss my grandma terribly when that day comes that she isn't here anymore. She is a real treasure!<br /><br /><b>Lisa ~ </b>This is definitely lily season! The orientals are starting to bloom now and they are the ones that give the garden such wonderful fragrance.<br />My grandma IS a sweetheart! :-)<br /><br /><b>Ilona ~ </b>Thank you for saying such nice things! I love when they plant wheat behind us. Corn is weird, because it's like a wall behind the garden. Beans are okay, but not nearly as beautiful as the wheat. Even the combined wheat field is pretty, I think. I love the smell in the air as the wheat is harvested. Don't like the chaff flying around though!<br /><br /><b>Nancy ~ </b>Gosh, I didn't think you guys would be that far behind us!<br /><br /><b>Jodi ~ </b>Frost??? Well, we got down into the 40s a couple of nights ago, which really surprised me. Tomorrow is supposed to be near 90 during the day. That's okay, but WE NEED RAIN! We are soooooo dry.<br />I can't believe how far behind us you are!<br /><br /><b>Tatyana ~ </b>Oh I need to get over and visit you at your blog! I'm always playing catch-up!<br />If you're ever this way, you're welcome to visit the garden! :-)<br /><br /><b>Benjamin ~ </b>I love wheat harvest, but you're right...that chaff is a nuisance. It's in the pool, the little garden pond, and all the little spider webs in the yard and gardens. It's like a fine layer of sawdust over EVERYTHING.<br /><br /><b>Janet ~ </b>This is the first year for 'Tiger Rose' and I'm loving it a LOT! The bloom is lasting a very long time, too!<br /><br /><b>Yolanda Elizabet ~ </b>This corn is a special kind, which I'm told I can't name. Corn-which-must-not-be-named. LOL. If you really want to know, just e-mail me and I'll tell you that way. ;-) First time growing it.<br /><br /><b>Commonweeder ~ </b>Thanks! With the tour being in August, I'm going to need that luck, I think!<br />Yes, I'm very blessed to have my grandma still!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-46282327003144206032009-07-09T23:51:57.670-04:002009-07-09T23:51:57.670-04:00Hi Kylee, This is a special post of a special visi...Hi Kylee, This is a special post of a special visit (making those memories!).

It was a very nice musing to read. I am a little more hard-hearted when it comes to water..I actually should water a little more. One thing on my agenda is to get some kind of regular watering system to the vegetables. It's very hard to produce quality vegetables without a dependable irrigation system.MILLIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723716803153365613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-53259101045231899582009-07-09T11:23:58.184-04:002009-07-09T11:23:58.184-04:00The garden looks lovely, no wonder your grandma li...The garden looks lovely, no wonder your grandma likes to walk in it, I would too!
