Doll for Danny

I finally finished this doll today...

I wonder if I'll ever make it clothes.

Our Garden This Year

This year, our garden is twice a big as last year's...

I put up this fence, but didn't end up digging down and burying it because I had to take a lot of breaks for naps and throwing up. This has already proved to be problematic... Rabbits got under and ate ALL of the cabbages, broccoli, peas (about 30 pea plants) and most of the kale in ONE NIGHT. We woke up and it was all gone. But when we got home from Clearwater, we found our super wonderful neighbor (who is sharing the space for the garden) had re-planted the peas, plus more. We've had some colder days and they are coming up very fast. Here's Danny next to the peas...

We still have carrots and peppers which the rabbits overlooked...

And we think/hope this vine is a returning cucumber, but we're not sure because the cukes were on the other side of the garden last year... It might just be a pretty weed, please comment if you know.

There will be tomatoes and sunflowers...

And I planted some zucchini seeds yesterday, we should be able to harvest those at the end of August.

Also, when I was in NY I had the treat of a gift certificate from my brother and Vera for Brooklyn General and I got this exciting stack of beauties...

That's flannel on the top for some pajamas I have planned for the boys this fall. And I've been craving these books for a long time. Yipee!

First/Last

Dear Joe,

After posting that picture of you on your last day of kindergarten, I went back and found this picture of you on your first day, over two years ago. You've grown so much!
