I noticed, sadly, that the trees have a slight blush of orange, yellow and red on their edges as we drove throughout parts of NY state this weekend. Irene knocked a bunch of leaves down in our yard--a sad reminder of what the next few weeks are all about. Susie and Dan went home yesterday--you can imagine why I might be feeling a little bit blue.
I fertilized my planter flowers one more time--I expect frost will come by the time I would do it again. The garden is pretty much done. I think there are a few more tomatoes (as if anyone cares) and 2 watermelons that are just about ripe. (boy--are they soooo much better than the store ones!) I should collect the last of the herbs before they totally go to seed and freeze/dry them. Last year I could not believe how much fresh basil cost--now this year I can't believe that I don't turn around and sell it--I have so much of it!
Regardless of what the foliage is doing, it is a dreary, hot muggy summer day outside. Angela and Kennedi are here for a visit, which is great! They don't start school until Tuesday. Aidan is outside with them painting a "Girlz Only" sign for the forest fort. We are planning a good ol' American cookout for dinner with hamburgers and hotdogs, and apple pie. Hopefully the storms will hold off! Tomorrow Gina and John will come pick up the girls and eat lunch with us. We are having chicken spiedie salad, watermelon (from the garden, hopefully!) and fresh made rolls and cupcakes.
Scott is busy getting all of his fantasy football stuff together. He has his big "draft party" on Wednesday. I should be working on my Fall drama program. I have to go in on Tuesday and move my prop/costume room--so hopefully I can get a bunch of other things done as well: like hanging posters and submitting announcements. I am trying to decide if I will join Laurel City Singers again.... or wait until they begin rehearsals for Boar's Head. My heart is not in it, maybe because Alannah won't be able to join me. Will have to see....
We went to a craft fair last week and a lady was selling yo-yo quilts. It got me thinking..... :) Always on the prowl for a new project!
