Wow! Where did August go? I could tell early in the month that it was going to be busy, so I made the decision not to blog for the rest of the month. That way I didn’t have to feel stressed or guilty that I wasn’t finding time to post. I just let it go…
So, what was I up to in August? The month started with a lovely vacation to the Oregon Coast with my entire family. Fun and relaxing! Then my daughter was home from school with me full-time for summer break. She keeps me busy and on my toes! Add to that some all-consuming drama with the school district right before school started, and I didn’t have much free time. Things have settled down and my daughter is back in school, so I’m back!
Here are some of the things I have in store for you for the next few weeks:
- I will get back to my French Fridays with Dorie posts, including a “catch-up” post with all the things I made in August.
- I want to tell you more about my vacation and share a family favorite recipe.
- I have a couple of sewing projects in the works. I may even do my first sewing tutorial!
- Elaine from California Living invited me play a game called “Seven Links”. It looks like a fun way to review past posts, so I will try to play soon.
I will leave you with a few recent pictures of the vegetable garden:
Cucumbers, green beans, basil...and a few other random veggies.
Freshly harvested Yukon Gold potatoes (and a stray Red Pontiac). I got about 3 pounds total!
Tomatoes!
A small harvest including four San Marzano tomatoes.
