There was a problem with the pictures of the post I sent out this weekend. If you did not view it right away, then you were not able to see the pictures. So, I am trying again...
The boys are enjoying school. Alexander missed his second week because he was sick with a fever, but otherwise, they have been healthy. Alexander had a project to do, decorating a person to look like him. Then he put stickers of things he liked around it. It was fun to do together. Glenn just got a progess report and it said he is meeting grade level expectations in all his subjects. He is also getting E's in conduct, which is for excellent. His teachers said he's very cooperative and works hard.
I know you love the pictures, so here they are:

Alexander is getting good at taking pictures. I decided to post this one because I just got new glasses. What do you think?
I planted my fall garden about two and a half weeks ago. I have never had a fall garden before, but I think it will be more productive than my spring garden.
In the square below, I have sage, parsley, speramint, and oregano growing (can't really see the oregano, yet). The celery I planted last spring is still trying to grow in the top right corner. The lower righ corner are golden beans (rather than green- gotta mix it up sometimes). And you might be able to make out the sweet pepper plants that have sprouted in the lower left corner. They are going to be different colors: purple, yellow, red, orange, and green. I have chives growing around the edge and also planted a few potatoes in the lower bottom. Any place I had a little room, I planted some garlic and ginger.
In the next square, running through the center are the banana pepper plants I planted in the spring. They have been producing like crazy this month. I just made some stuffed banana peppers at dinner last night- delicious! There is also some basil in with the banana pepper plant on the right. In the lower third are various lettuces, like you see the spring mix in the store. I should be able to start harvesting some of them in a couple more weeks. In the top right, you might see kind of a triangle of green; those plants are snow peas going around a trellis. I have green onion growing in the top left.
In the middle to the lower middle are eggplant plants that seemed to still be producing, but the one left on the plant hasn't grown much lately. I moved my strawberried to the lower left of this square because it gets a little shade from the crape merdle tree, which will mean they won't get quite so hot and hopefully produce more. The bottom right corner is spinach. The top right is kholrabi; I tried it in the spring, but it didn't grow well in the heat. Root vegetables like cooler weather, so I'm trying again. In the top middle I have rainbow colored Swiss chard. And in the top left are sweet onions.
Also, today is Bob and my 12th wedding anniversary. We went to a Brazilian Steakhouse on Saturday to celebrate. It was a very nice dinner. They had a great salad bar that was not your ordinary salad bar (shrimp, Brazilian salads, cheeses, meats). Then they brought different meats to the table. Delicious and too filling. We went home a bit bloated, but happy. :)
