Summertime is the best time...

I love the weather, I love the green, I love taking the weather for granted. The moderate temps have done nothing good as far as growing veggies goes, but for me it feels great!!!
We had a great week in Mackinaw, missed the Shaw clan....we'll see you soon!!!
We had great birthday parties (yes, multiple) for Bear, who is now 8.
And are enjoying not having to think about putting on coats or slogging through snow for a couple months. I assumed that the reason the hyper-active pace of spring slowed was due to sweltering heat, but apparently I just slow down in the summertime. It is now time to start fall-planting, especially if I want to garden "year-round", but haven't gotten to the store for the necessary seeds. My extent of gardening lately has been picking a little veggies and a ton of crab grass. Also, I officially declare the end of attempting to grow watermelon. Its just starting to vine out now, forget setting fruit, the plants were in hibernation for three months of the summer. When I budget my out my summertime I think I can fit in so much more, and I could if I kept up the spring-time pace. I have not been as successful with the gardening as I imagined though. Also, I think I have to start working out again. I keep slacking until I notice a lag in my energy and force myself back into the 6 am routine.
