last days of summer

Tomorrow morning we leave for The Big Apple, no that is not a description of me, it's New York.


Every year for the past 10 years we have travelled to another country for our wedding anniversary, this year the 10th, we are driving to New York.

The holiday is always a sure sign that summer is over.


The other signs this year have been eating our crop of potatoes (four spuds counts as a 'crop' right?) and the one remaining apple that the squirrels didn't make off with.


He did get to grow tomatoes outdoors for the first time and the squirrels left them alone, so there were lots, look,
























This summer, being unemployed, I have spent a lot of time reading on the deck in the back garden (and this will come as a surprize to those who know me), I have a tan.
A proper tan, not just a few more freckels.
The job search will begin anew on my return and the plan is to have at least an interview before the tan is completely gone.
All think positive together now....
