i missed me

it's true. i did miss me. i read on a friends blog recently about why she blogged.. she loved to be reminded of her life, her kids.. her doings. and i have missed that. so much has happened since the beginning of june and i have been known to have a slightly horrific memory so today i decided (and was super excited!) to jump on the computer and write about it. or at least post a pic or two to capture what i may not remember. i make no promise of regular posts or anything close to witty and/or exciting. but i come to the conclusion i just don't care. and i'm okay with that!

isn't she a beauty? i have enjoyed every second of summer this year. probably b/c i was frozen from the day football started until late march. so i decided to savor the summer and that i did! my savoring included: raspberries & peaches to my hearts content (i won't get into bowel shock this time) and of course right about this time... my garden foods! peas have come and gone, carrots are starting, lettuce indulged in along with monstrous zucchini's, potatoes and other deliciousness.

before you ask.. the red house belongs to Lashes. that is her name. she is super cute and i don't think of eyelashes anymore when i say her name. that out of the way.. see those light green things?? those are my roma tomato's almost deciding that they want to grow! what a horrid year for tomatoes. i think i'll still get a can or two out of those suckers. and yes.. to the left my ginormous zucchini plant. 1 out of the 4 i planted survived and she has produced past her potential and my zucchini bread was ummm kind of to die for. i will be shredding and freezing!!

ohhhhh my. the wissler family has added 5 more babies to the masses! penny had her babies yesterday. we had no idea when they would appear... but here they are and as cute as can be!! the orange one (i just learned today that almost all orange cats are males.. didya know that??) will be kept and enjoyed to the maximum i'm sure. scott and i apparently have a thing for orange cats much to the kids delightment (word??) so the craziness continues.. summer is ending.. i am in denial.

ps. i have mentioned that i love bleach almost more than life right? our pool.. that was green.. is no longer.. my full bleach bottle... is kind of no longer either.
