Friends


My dear friends, Meg and Melody came to visit a few weekends ago. I had a blast with them. I had so much fun I forgot to take any pictures except these. We went for a walk on Robert Moses Beach and found that the waves had deposited thousands of jellies on the sand. The sun breaking through the cloudy made it look like glass covered the shore!

Camping on the island


This fall we had the pleasure of spending a weekend camping with Ben, Robert and Corey on a little island off Cape Cod. Robert picked us up on the shore of Cape Cod and rowed us across to a "walk only" island. The first day was beautiful, warm and sunny. Corey and played on the shore while the men fished. Robert and Ben tried some stunt kite flying on a very windy last morning on the island.
Check out our new 6 man tent! Robert picked it out for us at an REI garage sale. Sweet deal!

Gardens and such


Over the past week or so I've been contemplating terrariums. I like them and decided to make one. I found several videos on youtube.com very helpful in my planning. This is my first attempt but we have a large carboy in the garage that has me dreaming....
Also, at the request of MJ: A garden update. Overall the garden is going well this summer. The squash and zuchs gave us trouble again. We've had lots of veg but at some point the leaves go yellow and the whole plant dies. Here's one in the half yellow phase:
Our zinnas have gone crazy! Look how tall they are! And the birds and flying insects love them.

Maria and Sisto





Last night we celebrated as our friends Maria and Sisto were married. It was a beautiful wedding and great party!

Digger's Birthday


On September 7 Diggy celebrated his 1st birthday. We tried to get some photos to mark the occasion but Diggy cannot be bothered to hold still for photos. This is a side shot that at least shows you how big he has gotten!

Summer Hog

We took Diggy out into the yard for a little adventure. We waited till dusk since he prefers the dark. I think he liked it. We put him under the marigolds and he really liked that but I don't have any pictures.
