49ers vs Chargers preseason game

Whenever the 49ers play the Chargers in preseason football we always try to make an appearance (49er faithful - obviously). We went with Luke Bartlett (Harley's brother), Emily, Ian, Nick, myself and Logan.

The Dog Days of Summer . . .

A view of one of my gardens. In this garden there are strawberries, bell peppers, tomatillos, yellow squash, dill and A LOT of tomatoes!

These have been our favorite tomatoes, they are bigger than your hand and have the warmest flavor EVER! This tomato is so big the plant has only managed to put off 3 of them (tomatoes) this season. We don't know the name of these because all of our tomato plants came from the compost.

This is our 1st year growing tomatillos. Tomatillos grow inside of these little lantern things. They taste like tangy tomatoes and are very hardy!
















At the begining of August Logan and I went out on a rainy day and burried a few pieces of a pumpkin that had matured too early. Here is what we have now, hopefully we will get some pumpkins in time for halloween :)

There have been 2 things the heat has been good for, number 1 is hanging my laundry and number 2 is making sun tea - otherwise I am not a huge fan!
It is time to start winter veggies :)
Crazy 6 foot tall tomato jungle!

Dolphin Safari

John and Luise had given us a gift certificate for Christmas to go out on the Dolphin Safari, we finally took the plunge! Going out on the boat was amazing. We were able to watch a mom and baby blue whale.
