Summer is taking it's time....

to get here. It's been a slow warm-up for us here in the Northwest. I've been working more than usual and went to Texas to see my brother with cancer. So I just wanted to give a quick update and will write more later along with pic's of my garden. It's up and running, and I'm just hoping it will warm up here soon. I've got cauliflower, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers and snowpeas in the ground over the weekend. A few tomatoes and cucumbers will remain in the greenhouse just in case! The fig tree is really growing, and the apple tree has lots of blossoms on it. Strawberries are turning red and we should be enjoying them in another week or so.

Every Tuesday I get to spend a few hours with the "boys", Reese and Kade while Jen goes to school. You know I have really been enjoying that! I've finished reading Joel Rosenberg's latest and last book in a series, "Dead Heat". I sure hope the things in there don't come true, as with his other books. But it really does look inevitable. We all know it's just a matter of when, not if.

And, this weekend we are going camping at the coast with Kade. I know he will enjoy all the bunnies and horses at the campground. The 5th wheel is about ready to go and so are we! I'll send pic's soon. I hope you all are enjoying these days, as we never know how many we have left! Make the best of them, I always say.
