Feeling the change today as the weather becomes cooler and cooler and it’s crispness rubs against my skin. It’s getting drier by the the minute. The way we know how dry it’s getting  is by looking at our horses tails. They all become static cling(y) and look brittle & coarse. Strange, I know…but true!

I have a moment to write and am starting to feel the curl and cuddle of the writing as the weather cools and isn’t so intense.  For me, with my wintertime personality it’s a chance to catch up and breathe. Listen to music and just be.

My baby is sleeping soundly and my 2.5 year old is off with Daddy at the rental. I just finished reading my favorite blogs like magazines and try to comment at as many of them as I can. Sometimes I’m just scrolling through. Today, I spent a lot of time at a few different blogs. Reading a good juicy blog is like going to the movies and having that moment of awareness.

Summary of Summer

Hey guys! Happy 09-09-09!  Still around. Database crashed and I wasn’t able to get to it until last night. Sorry about that!!

We had a jam packed weekend full of fun!

We took Tristan bowling and I even wore Clark for part of it. Don’t worry, I played it safe… & Tristan had a ball… LOL!

And as a last consolation for the summer and because our  membership is going to expire at the end of the month; we went to the zoo!

This summer I’ve tried a few raw dishes and some new cooked ones. Our garden didn’t do as well as we’d hoped. This is the first year in five years that we’ve planted a garden and have not had much of a harvest. The insane high temps killed most of our plants or slowed their growth. We normally have tons and tons of tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and peppers.  We hardly had any harvest of what we planted.  It was a bit discouraging but also part of gardening and the challenges you face. We’re determined to research some of the challenges through winter in hopes of a more successful garden next year. Hopefully, we  master composting by then and are able to provide the much needed nutrients we were possibly lacking and time of all things.  Thankfully, my mother in laws garden was flourishing because we’ve been eating some of her bounty.
