This is so cool! I have figured out how to do pics on this computer. It's a little harder than on the other one, but I'm so excited that I can do this for the first time:

Sorry for the size. Haven't worked that part out yet.




There's my sweetie at the grill. We had buffalo burgers for supper tonight.


This is the stone circle at the back of my yard that the DH made.


Here's some of my herbs: sage, mint and rosemary.


This is the other side of my herb garden. It was a little more impressive a week ago. But I've harvested my stevia, and my oregano died overnight. remaining are chives, basil, and two kinds of thyme--lemon thyme and creeping thyme.


Here's the front of the house. We've begun our Halloween decorations. But we hope that we can maybe pick up some pumpkins and a haybale on payday.
Maybe.


And here's the last (almost) of my tomatoes. There are a very few still left--I don't know if they will ripen on the vine. If we get a frost warning, I'll pick them green and let them ripen indoors.

Your place is so pretty. I love the stone circle your hubby created. And all the Halloween decorations are so cute. What gorgeous tomatoes, too. Do you ever make fried green tomatoes?

[dreamflower]

Yes! I'm hoping that some of the ones still on the vine will get big enough for fried green tomatoes! But while delicious, almost all my tomatoes have been too small for that.

Yay for pics! Ooooh, your yard is nice and big.

Your tomatoes still look great!

[dreamflower]

It's smaller than our yard in MS, but it's plenty big enough for what we need.

Oh, they are so yummy! Is your plant still bearing?

[shirebound]

Regretfully, no. One of my neighbor's flowering plants got a strange disease or parasite (lots of white cobwebby stuff all over it) that got onto my tomato plant and made it wilt pretty badly. Next year!!

[dreamflower]

Well, at least you got a few! And now you know you can do it--so next year will be even better!

Congrats on figuring out how to post your pics, they came out very well. Your house is so cute.

[dreamflower]

It's taken me a while, but I've finally figured it out. Now I just have to figure how to make them smaller.

Gosh, the sky is so intensely blue! Your house is so cute, all dressed for Halloween, and I love the stone circle your hubby made for you. It looks like a great place to sit and think about hobbits :)

[dreamflower]

It's very nice, and worth the expense of the rocks. You can't see it too well in this pic, but there's a firepit in the middle. It's really nice at night when the stars are out, and the fireflies.

I love these pics and especially your stone circle and your screened in porch!

[dreamflower]

The screened in porch and the deck with the ramp were the first improvements we made to the house. It's so nice to sit out there. It had a screened in porch when we bought it, but the entrance was at the side, and the steps were very steep.

The stone circle was the DH's idea, and I think it came out great!

How lovely! Y'all have really made your house a home. Love all of the herbs and individual touches. Adn your tomatoes look delectable!

[dreamflower]

We wanted to put our stamp on it. It's funny--last summer when we painted it yellow, I don't think there were very many yellow houses in town, but since then at least half a dozen houses have been painted yellow!

I love cooking with fresh herbs. I'll be cutting most of them in the next week or so and putting them to dry. But I'll put the pots on the porch, and hope that they'll grow there.

And the tomatoes *are* delicious!

LOL, yellow houses! In our neighborhood in San Antonio, every house had the same rust-brown roofs from the time they were built -- until we all had to have them replaced after a terrible hailstorm. Our was the first to be done, and we chose a slate grey to bring out the grey in some of our bricks. That was like the crack in the dam; although some houses kept the same color, many changed to other shades of brown, greys, black, even a couple that were green! And with new paint jobs, there was a lot more variety in the neighborhood -- really looked great.

I love the creamy yellow of your house, with the clean white trim -- very cheerful and Victorian!

[dreamflower]

You can't tell very well from this pic, but our roof is green now. That was another thing we did. In the part of the south I hail from, a green roof is considered a "classic", and I've always liked them.

I do love the sunny yellow with the white and green. We also have a dark red door--just a little redder than burgundy, kind of a cranberry color. You can't see it too well though, with the screen porch there.

Such a lovely, happy place!

What will be happening there say, Thursday around six-thirty?

[dreamflower]

Oh, well possibly a visit from you? *grin* That would be great!

Are you going to take part in the Yule exchange? *crosses fingers*

[the-arc5.livejournal.com]

Grr. It's looking like my visit isn't going to pan out this week. :(

[elendiari22.livejournal.com]

I love your decorations! So cute!

[dreamflower]

Thanks! We hope to get more pumpkins before Halloween. Of course, we'll put everything out on the deck on Halloween night! I'll try to take a nighttime picture of it, all lit up, when we are done!

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

lovely pics! Your hubby looks very sweet!

[dreamflower]

He is. He's very sweet! And cuddly. Kind of like a tall hobbit, with hair on his upper lip instead of his feet.

[surgicalsteel.livejournal.com]

You've got a great place!

[dreamflower]

Thanks! We've still got a lot to do to it.
