Summer 2010

September has arrived after a warm, dry and busy July and August.   After a cold spring and very rainy June, we had two months of perfectly good summer.  My life was filled with visitors, activities and turning sixty-five.  I am now officially a senior citizen!

My garden was a bust this year.   When most of the plantings from May died back after many cold, wet days, what I replanted in July just did not take off.  At the moment, I have some beets, one cucumber plant and a whole lot of weeds.

Composting on my deck was even worse.  I grew a large crop of fruit flies which just kept growing and growing.  Finally at the end of July I gave up and I once again can enjoy this deck.

This Saturday I am off on a road trip.  We are traveling east from Vancouver over the Rockies in Alberta to follow the Continental Divide down to Utah.  From there, we will work our way over to San Francisco and after a tour of the wine country make our way back north up the Coast highway.

I have a new camera and plan to take my laptop so I can blog along the way.
