Oh yeah, summer's here

Top 5 reasons summer is here:


1. I have to use the a/c in the car at 6:30am


2. I've seen half a dozen lightning bugs and Japanese beetles are eating my roses

3. Super scary thunderstorms out of nowhere with thunder that rattles the wall for at least 15 seconds... (this was from Tropical Storm Barry on Sunday)



4. My commute is noticeably faster - I got to work in less than 30 minutes today (YAY! SCHOOL IS OUT! NO BUSES! OR CARPOOL MOMS!)

5. The garden is prospering - check it out:
My favroite flower this summer: Dianthus



TOMATOES! We've got green tomatoes in all kinds of varieties (grape, roma, heirloom, early girl, patio and cherry)!!!


Mmmm, and basil to go with it!

Cute little peppers (although these may be fiery little boogers)

Ooh girl, I can't wait to play in my garden area outside the house! Your plants look great! I want to dig up my ground so bad, but I know we should take care of the INSIDE of the house first! ;-) However, I did see a pink mini calla lily in the flower bed amongst all the weeds--and I love it!
Random info: last night when I left work at 1145, it was 82 degrees!!! 82!!!! Whew!
