My favorite dahlia

I am back to planting dahlias, after a couple of years' hiatus. I have some really good ones, including a fuschia and some red/white ones. This is my favorite this year! It is called Keith H which is a dull name for such a pretty flower...

Harvest--a few weeks ago

Some harvest pictures from the last few weeks. There have been a lot of changes because of the hot weather, so these are "before" shots. I'll do a new garden post later in the week. Here is Marcus getting some potatoes for dinner:


Our first few tomatoes! They have been very late this year, but not as late as last year (September) so I am happy.


Here is my favorite breakfast, what I will be having for the next two months:

Summer fun

Our "new" pool...filled to the brim with kids! Just the way it should be...and with the weather FINALLY hitting 90 degrees just this past weekend, we are really grateful for this pool!

Some more pics of CCs

Somehow, these cute pictures didn't make it into my previous posts....


A visit to Bob's Red Mill. We missed the tour but we walked around the retail store, ate whole-grain cookies, and even saw Bob! An extra bonus: the Dave's Killer Bread store was just across the street (although we didn't see Dave).
