August No Driving Days
Well this month I didn’t to too hot in the no driving department. With school in session that puts me driving at least 5 days out of the week, so I’m glad I did my best over the Summer. For the month of August I ended up with 3 no driving days. That brings my year to date totals up to 38 days, still over my goal. We’ll see how September goes…

OKRA!!!!!
Dylan was proud to show off this yummy bowl of okra, and we are still picking this tasty crop every few days. Next year I know I will need to double the plants because Dylan can eat more Okra than anyone else in the family.

The Okra blossoms are my very favorite part of vegetable gardening.
They are just too pretty.
This season we have been lucky enough to pick okra a time or two. I had only 5 plants that made it, and next year I’m dedicating an larger portion of the garden to okra. Fried Okra is a family favorite of ours, even Dylan loves it.
The corn is doing well too, but it isn’t ready to be picked just yet.
July’s No Driving Days
I am happy to report that thanks to an awesome month of no driving days in July, I’ve hit my goal for the year. I had 7 no driving days in July and that gives me 35 no driving days all together. I was hoping to have an entire month without driving, and I’m really proud of achieving this goal.
August is going to be different, school is starting, and I’ll be driving Thade to and from school everyday. I’ll still try my best to keep the car at home as much as I can.
