Where the H did July Go?

Well in keeping with my theme of not posting until I have too much to post - here I go. Summer updates (now that it's nearly over):

Garden is doing great. A lot of tomatoes ready to ripen, our greens -chard, collard (or colored if you're Michael on The Office - US version), lettuce have produced but are actually running a bit amuck right now. The cucs on the hill are starting to do well. The weeds are by far out performing them all though. We had to put up a rabbit fence to keep the boys out so weeding is a bit more of an acrobatic feat now.

Of course we attribute this year's success to Karl's new collection of Garden Gnomes that protect the crops from evil.

Had a nice camping trip with Butch and Cakes up to Golden Gate Canyon. Went on a hike, ate and relaxed for a couple of days. The boys enjoyed it once they got used to the fact that they were tied to a tree and could only go about 10 feet!

The rest of the month we did some yard work and put some nice lattice up on the patio and planted a vine and a clematis to grow on it (hopefully) and have been trying, to some success, to train the boys, and of course Karate. We are leaving first thing tomorrow for Vegas for the big Pacific/West Region tournament - The Duel in the Desert. Are stopping in Glenwood for few nights on the way home for some relaxation before heading back to work on the 15th (Jax goes back to school the 22nd - Outdoor Lab year - woo hoo!)
