summer love

what i am loving right now:

concerts in the park

these shoes

this book and movie i have been reading it and thinking (since i watched the movie first) that doc must have been a difficult father but he has a lot of interesting ideas. everything about this book and movie are intriguing to me. and the last thing i am loving is lots and lots of garden time:


tomatoes (salsa, pasta sauce, "everything but the kitchen sink chili") watermelon and peppers. this year i planted two different "purple" tomatoes and they are both super tasty. the winner in flavor (besides the purple tomatoes) is "sulpice" which i planted last year as well but is much better this year. i even got two juliets to come up after planting a thawed out frozen tomato right in the ground!!! i put about 4 or 5 in and got two plants. not sure how i did it since i plant seeds and rarely get them to work. onions are of course still cranking out (i think onion farming is in my future). so my daily goal is to blast through work as mindless as possible so i can get home to enjoy the bike rides and family time. emily is at camp wintaka for a few more days, very odd having just one kidlet around but liz is enjoying the one on one time for sure.

hold on to summer! it's moving by fast!
