the summer slump

alright already! here’s a post just so you don’t have to read “camping debacle” every time you load our page! 🙂

either eric or myself will be posting a real post soon…hopefully one with pictures of our pups and garden, etc.

here’s a quick recap:

for the 4th of july we bbq-ed some grillers and corn and had tasty watermelon before going to the mediocre fireworks show here in town. given our proximity to wyoming, there were LOTS of GIANT fireworks going off all around town and in our neighborhood. and we were guilty of phoning the coppers when we witnessed roman candles being aimed at cars and houses just down the street.

our garden is producing lots of giant yellow squash, a few tomatos, and the beets are growing quite nicely. our lone pumpkin plant is thriving and will hopefully produce some offspring for us to butcher at halloween.

that’s been about it around these parts. it’s been too hot to go hiking lately, which is a big bummer. and tonight i’m going to brave the hordes of screaming kids at the borders harry potter party to nab myself a copy, assuming they won’t sell out (but given that this is longmont, i think i have a good chance). don’t get me wrong, i wish i could go and dress up and play games, but a lone adult amongst children might be looked at a bit askance.

toodles for now!
