1st day of school

My Garden, well my tomatoes.....

Ok, so I planted these 6 plants way tooooooo close. I will remember that for next year! But they are Jersey tomatoes and they are sweet!

So what do you do with all your tomatoes you say??? Google it!
Sliced tomatoes and pesto is D-licious!
Tomato salad with fresh basil and onions.
Homemade tomato sauce.....Yummy!! This I got from the internet and all I used for flavor was olive oil, salt and pepper and garlic, and lots of it. Then I poured it over linguini. Comments from Ray included GREAT, comments from my dad, it's not really that thick. Is he ever happy?? "Your mothers sauce was always thicker" Well, she never made homemade did she, I replied. And he isn't getting her sauce any time soon!
Coming up, zucchini...........I am going to make stuffed zucchini from the recipe in the newspaper. They call for ground chicken. Stay tuned.....................

This is what happens when a 6 year uses your camera...

On the phone with Babs!
Sailing, while getting a dark dark tan!
I had to hold on to the ladder for dear life. We were sailing but I needed to get wet because it was way too hot!

The summer is almost over

Well, I did it again. Waited way toooooo long to post and now I forgot what I've been up to all summer. If you are a friend of mine on facebook you know every move I've made from day to day, hour to hour. If you are not a friend of mine on facebook, find me Susan Miller Hall and send me a friend request.
We have been sailing almost every weekend. The weather has been great and it has been fun checking out some of our old sailing haunts from over 25 years ago. Sailing the Chesapeake Bay is a lot different from Lake Ontario. It is very shallow here and you have to watch the depth sounder at all times.
We were in Key West for about 10 days in July. Talk about hot! It was mini lobster season for 2 days and we went out once. Never again will I go then. A week after mini season, lobster season opens. Who wants to be out there with all those boats for 2 days?? We got a lot done around the house as usual, this time tearing down the sea wall and old, not so safe, dock. It looks much better and is much more functional. We are planning another trip at Christmas time.
Summer will be 32 weeks pregnant tomorrow. She has a scheduled c-section for Oct 12th but we are still keeping our fingers crossed that she will make it that long. Jackson and Lucy can't wait to have a new little brother. They start school on Monday so maybe Summer will get a little break and maybe relax, SURE!!
I have been busy in my gardens. When the fall gets here I will be really busy moving everything around. I was going to Lowes almost every day to buy clearance plants. I got some great deals. Some of the plants were 10 cents each. I can't squeeze another plant in but that doesn't stop me. I went today and got hens and chicks for 74 cents a container, I had to buy all 6 pots. It looks like I have lived here for years. Barbara came to visit in June and went home with a car load. She says Macedon Lowes doesn't mark down like my Lowes.
My dad is doing great!! Well he doesn't think so but he is! He goes to the gym 5 days a week and walks on the treadmill for an hour each time. I couldn't do that...boring!! The cat is also doing good. He seems to be very happy and pretty much just hangs around the house when we let him out. His hunting ground was across the street but they are building over there now and have cleared the lot, so no more dead presents for me! I had to stop feeding the birds because he was plucking them out of the air!! That would be a kodak moment for sure!
Well, that is about it for now. I am sure I have a lot more but the priming of Summer's kitchen drawers are calling me. I'll fill you in during my next update.
