Happenings
This week sees the end of summer reading. I am up to my eyeballs in final bits and pieces. We end with a huge ice cream social for all and it is grand fun! Every summer we also have a library sleepover for the members of the teen advisory group who have heped throughout the summer. Usually that is in August, but I decided to put it on the same day as the ice cream social and get it all over with at once. Thus when I collapse in a heap at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday I can just sleep untilI wake up and know that there is nothing else particularly strenuos on the horizon.
Meanwhile the garden needs my attention. Beans and zucchini are prolific and getting ahead of me. We have had rain and cooler temperatures so everything is happy and will be happier when their gardener can pay some attention. The gardener will be happier too. Flowers on the eggplant. Loads of green tomatoes. LOADS!
My laptop is waiting for a new power cord - another reason for spotty entries. But I’ll be back with a vengeance when this week is over. That is both a threat and a promise.

It seems too soon for summer reading to be ending, but then the Back-to-School sales are starting, so maybe summer is even shorter than I thought.
Good luck with the computer power cord thing – they are outrageously expensive considering the minimal technology envolved in a power cord.
I called me mum this morning and marveled at how tomato season is OVER here. I lust after your zucchini, though. I got a few at a market last week, but I’ve only used half of them so far and they’re a little wilty. Maybe it’ll be the other two baby zucchs, the last green pepper, and an egg for dinner tonight.
Life is good.
How can summer reading be over already? It’s still… oh dear, it’s mid-July. Where does the time go?
@DMMeyer - The back to school stuff is out on display in all the local stores. I did shave two weeks off the program from previous years as out numbers TANK at the end of July and I need time to regroup before school starts. I found a power cord on ebay for $7. The joys of an older laptop.
@BoureeMusique - I am shopping for a good zucchini bread recipe. Do you or the Mum have one and if so….please post or fax. I’ll send the fax number if that’s easier.
This is a delicious recipe I’ve made successfully in the past: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/blueberry-zucchini-bread/Detail.aspx
That’s a good idea to combine the two events. Hope both go very well. Sounds like your garden is outstanding!
I wish I could make the same threat and promise!
@Boowasborn - You should come and visit and have dinner. I am out of town for a week in August but other than that and sleeping all day Saturday, I am here.
