One Minute Closer to Winter

Happy (late) Midsummer's Eve!  We had everyone over to the house for dinner ~ celebrating Father's Day.  Jim cooked chicken, steaks and double baked potatoes and his famous lime chess pie.  I made antipasto, salad and supplied the beer and iced tea.

And we had 5 dogs!!! Which does make life exciting!!!!!

I am working on the upstairs bedrooms.  I changed Amy's room, again and hung some more pictures.  

Now I am getting ready to take Melanie to the vet.  We have been working on changing over the dogs food because Amy doesn't like the food the dogs came to us on.  So we are switching over to Blue Buffalo and then I bought the second bag of Blue Buffalo, but bought the Wilderness version of it and Melanie's digestive system said "NO".  

I am taking her to the vet to make sure she doesn't have some bug.  Better safe than sorry.

On the gardening front, the tomato plants are HUGE and we will have a bumper crop.  I need to Google how long it takes for the tomatoes to ripen.  And here is one of the hibiscus blooms:

Grape tomatoes

I think these are plum tomatoes

Jim's favorite ice cream place ~ it is delicious!!!!

Ok, Melanie is fine.  The vet thinks it is the food.  Which is a relief.  The vet did send an antibiotic anyway, so Melanie is good.

We were at 99 degrees again, today.  Jim says it is unusual for it to be this hot this early.  I guess that Mother Nature is compensating for how cold a winter we had.  

Oh, I have Carolyn news.  She is done with her trauma surgery rotation and starts her Dermatology residency on July 1.   She is so excited!  Chris finished his fourth round of chemo and is tired, but ok. 

Jesse took the real estate exam on Saturday and Maren continues to prep for the bar.  Everyone is busy.

Stay Cool!
Love, Leslie
