It is sad, but, true.

I am getting tired of my garden. I would actually like to just mow it all down and quit for this year but the tightwad in me won't let me. I have more tomatoes than I can eat or give away (I never, ever thought I would have trouble giving away fresh organic homegrown tomatoes) but I can't just let them go so I have made juice and tomorrow I will start a batch, a big batch, of salsa.
The squash is all gone, the squash bugs destroyed the vines. The cucumbers are slowing down a bit and this time of year they start getting bitter for some reason.
I'm still getting enough green beans to fix them a couple of times a week and the okra is just getting started so I am still enjoying it.

We are having unusual weather for late July in Oklahoma. It rained last night and was cloudy and not too hot all day today. But, we still have August. :(

Our weekend was very nice. Levi's birthday dinner was a lot of fun. In case any of you worried about our drinking habits, here's how we drink (we're a bunch of lightweights) I had three tequila sunrises with probably not much more than an ounce of tequila in all three combined. Mark drank two beers. Levi had three shots of tequila with lime spaced out over the entire evening. Christi carried around one tequila sunrise but I don't think she ever drank more than half. Charity didn't drink at all, Jason had a few beers but Charity was driving.
I've done the whole being a drunk routine years ago in another lifetime and have no desire what-so-ever to ever be drunk again. EVER. But, it is nice to be free enough to have a cocktail when I want to.

I kept Zoe this morning so Levi and Christi could go out on their date night, well date morning. They went out to eat and to see Harry Potter. It kind of ruined my day for doing much else so we laid around and watched movies and television. We watched Flash of Genius, the story about Robert Kerns who invented the intermittent windshield wiper. I thought the man was stupid, just to prove he was right he lost his job, his wife and family and 12 years of his life.

Okay,I'm through rambling for tonight.. off to shower and hang out with Ms Em in her room for a while.

Love you guys
Hope you had a good weekend.
