Back to School BBQ

Today was the annual bbq.  The kids had a great time.  The girl got a rainbow and clouds painted on her face.  The boy got a blue shark.

Summer Harvest

This is the last of the vegetables from the garden.  Our harvest wasn't as bountiful this year as in years past.  We didn't grow any types of squash or melons.  Last year we were inundated with squash bugs.  We hadn't had them before and I hope we never have them again.

On the positive side, our eggplants, peppers and herbs did well.  I wonder if pesto can be frozen?

I am so glad hubby is putting in raised beds!

Raised garden beds

I know.  Fancy.  Our garden did awful this summer.  I don't know if it was the mild temperatures or our horrible soil.  In case it was the soil we might be able to fix that.  And of course the garden has to look cool - because it is all about having a visually appealing garden.

Dolphins!

I am not sure if you will be able to see them, but over by the lighthouse there are four dolphins.  They surfed the waves as they were breaking on the beach.  They surfed next to the boogie board surfers.  They stayed for almost 10  minutes.  I have been coming to this beach since I was a kid and have never seen dolphins that close.  As you can see by the crowd it was amazing.  The kids are still excited.
