Odds and Ends of Summer

Last time I talked to Adam he said he liked the

blogs - even when there's nothing much

goin' on.  So, here is a blog with

with nothing much going on - just

some odds and ends here at the end of the summer.

 

 I can't remember the last time I made a peach pie,

so I was pretty pleased when it turned out

both pretty and delicious!  Unfortunately, it is
the end of peach season so, probably just one this year.
 



Pat and Arlo headed out in the Miata.

It is not Arlo's favorite ride but he would rather go in the Miata than be left behind.

The little car has had a quiet summer - hope there are a couple of chances to

go out and about before the weather closes in.

 



G'ma says this is the last hibiscus of summer. 

The weather wasn't very good for tomatoes this

summer, but the flower gardens were beautiful.

 



Finally got my garage sale done!  What a bunch of STUFF.

It was pretty fun ~ lots of interesting people and

I made enough money to cover my plane

ticket to Aunt Maribeth's.  Her

knee surgery is scheduled for next week - the 21st. 

We have had a couple of awesome campfires.  This

one is burning down.  The little old campfire maker

actually relaxed and sat with me for awhile.

 

The autumn clematis is in full bloom and just

beautiful.  It smells like jasmine and the

honey bees and the big bumble bees are staying

very busy!  The one on the fence grew up into the maple tree and

looks really cool, but my picture didn't turn out  :~(

I planted several pots this year and this is my favorite.

I hope the caladiums come back next year.  They

were beautiful.

 

Well, that is all for now.  Dad and I should be in OBX this time

next week.  Alysa is staying at the house.

I always wanted to go to the beach in the fall.

I'll try to do a post from there.

Have a good week.  Love you all, Mom.
