Random thoughts

My garden this year has been a bust… so far! The damp and cloudy weather has left my vegetables very small. I am finally getting some cucumbers to grow. My tomato plants have been stricken with apparently the same disease that has affected a lot of the local farm markets. I also had a few critters hit my vegetables to which they enjoyed a nice salad! Oh well there is always next year on the veggies. On the positive, my flowers were happy with all the rain! I was able bring back some corn and tomatoes from New Jersey when I was down home visiting. Nothing can beat those Jersey tomatoes!

We bought a great little net book computer which we plan on taking to Russia, it weighs only 2 lbs. Cute little thing, works great! We can also skype from it to! I am very slow on it, but getting the hang of it. We have finally gone wireless. Nice be able to use the computer where ever you want.

Patrick put in a new heating system down stairs in our finished basement. So we will be nice and warm this winter down stairs. We cleaned out our basement and started organizing the garage. I hope to get my perennial garden completed this fall.

My sister came up for the weekend; we had a lot of fun going shopping! I think we hit every store possible. She bought a few cute things for Sean! She has been keeping busy knitting a blanket for Sean. That night we had a great time cooking a seafood dinner feast together! I look forward to our next visit together.
