Busy Bee

Lots of things happening this month...between work, marvin, events...there's definitely no dull moment. Our tomato and squash plants have been doing well and got lots of pictures.



They are all delicious and useful :-)




I'm hoping things will wind down a bit, but there's still plenty more things to plan, organize, and figure out. Hopefully all goes well. Now here's a picture of the pup now on his first trip...didn't go as well as I'd thought, but we all had fun. It'll be a while before we take him on a long car trip again, but hopefully this was not his last.

Softball

Today we start softball again. It was nice to be outside and run. It got warm pretty fast and by the end...I was ready to go back into the icy air conditioned office. I can't believe I just wrote that.

Update: Marvin is doing well...except he continues to have selective hearing when outside. He is growing rapidly. I'll post up some pics later on.

Summer

Today is the first day that S doesn't have school or camp...basically the summer has officially started. I wish I didn't have to go to work today and have a couple of months off in the summer too! I'll have to see when would be some good days to take off of work this month and next :-)

Growing large zucchini and Marvin

Our squash plant has finally started producing squash. There are supposedly 3 different kinds...zucchini, yellow squash, and a white zucchini...we picked a few the other day and one had grown to be quite large...I've posted a picture of the bush and of the squash we picked. They are actually a bit prickly to the touch...never knew that.

Other news...trying to train Marvin to walk nicely on a leash, he's learned to sit and kind of knows what down means. We've also been working on fetching and retrieving...hopefully we can get him to know how to do that outside...we shall see.

Blissful...

1. A hug just because from my special someone
2. A lazy weekend morning with a cup of coffee
3. A clean house
4. The smell of the morning air
5. The feeling you get after a good workout
6. Completion of a project
7. Conversations with close friends
8. Fresh flowers from farmers' market in a vase

What do you consider to be blissful?

Just an ordinary day

Today is just an ordinary weekday...nothing different is planned. Yesterday we went to the Giants' game...it was not super great just because it was kind of a blow-out...the gents lost 8-1...hopefully they can pull it together tonight. My bro graduated last Friday...unreal. It makes me feel old and then to top it off, the other day, S was talking about how he was squatting during camp and when he got up...his legs were shaky - the oldness is creeping in! :-) life goes on i suppose...

So behind...

It's been a while since I've posted...Our new puppy has kept me quite busy! He is very active and is in the teething phase...Unfortunately that means he bites and it really hurts! Besides that I've started to teach him how to sit...hopefully he catches on :-)
