Well, the family garden has gone wild (not to mention the five foot marigolds). We finally had a day below 80 degrees to work outside and I barely made a dent. Anyone want zucchinis, cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, cataloupe, hot peppers, etc. because they are coming out of my ears? The girls were able to pick their first pumpkin. We should have a good crop for Halloween plus a nice variety of gourds.

My last week of summer vacation. School responsibilities start back up next Monday. The girls and I spent our last completely free week of the summer…home. No backpacking, camping, or traveling. It is the girls 8th week of summer vacation and the first to actually be in Wyandotte. We had a nice week visiting friends, spending time with grandma and grandpa, riding bikes, going to the Y, reading books, going to the movies, playing in the park and Ceasarland and being couch potatoes. Just a relaxing week at home…what a concept.
