home again, home again
I'm feeling very boring and unwitty and generally not like blogging. Just to warn you. I just wanted people to know I was still alive.
We came home today from a short four-plus day stay in Morro Bay. Usually we stay longer, but this year with the garden and our general lack of funds, we decided to make it a short stay. But we had a fantastic time, even including Scout who turns out to be a great traveler and who adjusted fine to camping life (and who never once pottied in the tent). (Yay for the Caliber, too. Thirty-two MPG there and back = way way better than twelve.) Not long after we left, we had a lightning storm here at home that started a few majorish fires, the most worrisome of which is very near my brother and SIL's house. They've not been evacuated, but they were told to be ready to evacuate just in case. It's very smoky here.
The garden is fine. On my dad's advice, I started watering it less often a few weeks ago and it has been LOVING it. Who knew that I could take TOO good care of something green? This mean, happily, that we only had to ask friends to water it once while we were gone. We now have a whole bunch of little bitty green tomatoes and some peapods and some tiny baby zucchini and carrots that are edible small carrots (not ready to harvest, though. I just thin one every now and then.) As soon as I get my pictures sorted, there will be photos of the garden (including last week's, which I took but didn't upload) and of our vacation at Flickr. (Look out for the very cool sand castle. The Ts have once more surpassed themselves.)
And I think thatisall. More later, maybe, if my brain comes back.

Glad you're alive :-)
