Do You Want to See Venus?

Cockscomb


Lemon Grass


Morning Glory


Autumn Sedum


Persian Ivy


Fall Flowering Clematis


Ripening Tomato


Nasturtium bud


Eggplant

Just a bit of what is happening in my garden right now.




I bought these cute maple leaf glasses at a thrift shop for $2.00. I like to serve soup in small glasses at my Fall parties. I pass it around as appetizers and it is easy to drink right out of the glass. I usually make a couple different kinds so there is variety. I make types that people have never had but are always popular. Peanut soup is a huge hit.


Check out these cupcake liners I found.



These are my new favorites.


Now I have to figure out what sort of cupcakes I want to fill them with.


Something especially ghoulish I think.


As promised, here is Venus. Next time I will try to get a bit closer!

Wonderful Pictures! I´ve never seen that kind of eggplant before! I´ve never tried lemon grass or even eaten it, but I know it tastes very good.

Those cup cake liners are relly great! I´ve never seen anything like that over here!

They said that we could have seen the space station this morning, but naturally the sky was cloudy so I missed it.
Have a great day now!

I grew up in Virginia and peanut soup was always a hit. I make a chicken pumpkin soup every Halloween. Yum! Great idea with the glasses. I bet your garden smells wonderful. Mine smells like dry caked dirt since we got almost no rain this summer, but thankfully the hurricane will give us some much-needed rain. Poor garden. I leave it alone in the summer and just water it. It's so hot, the plants burn, so each year I learn what will and won't survive the summer here. It's so nice to see what you can grow--lucky girl!

Those cupcake cups are so great, I wish we were more into Halloween in The Netherlands, you can't get things like that here, although I love to celebrate Halloween. The Netherlands are starting to sell things for Halloween, but it isn't very big yet !!
The glasses are so wonderful and I just looooove peanut soup !!!
