And every year I look forward to summer, and the supposed lighter schedule, then breathe a sigh of relief when the kids go back to school in the fall :)<br /><br />irisonbooks--love your blog!

I like the pattern, too--it mimics the windows in our house (a slightly decrepit but charming Craftsman bungalow). <br /><br />We're having girl drama here, too--and getting up in the morning is only the half of it! We're also having boy drama, but it's less dramatic. My 14-year-old has gotten to the Neanderthal stage--grunting, sleeping and eating are his main activities.<br /><br />I hope you get a chance to visit your friend in Vancouver--it really is a beautiful city. The only drawback is the weather, but that's only for me, spoiled by LA--it's so much better than anywhere else in Canada.<br /><br />Interesting comparison between The Stand and The Passage. Loved The Stand, and hope to get to The Passage, too.<br /><br />Tinkers is also on my radar...you'll have to let me know how you like it!<br /><br />Jeane--I'm glad you're interested :) I'm so excited about this garden--I've waited years to do what I wanted with the back yard. It was a lawn before, but now that my kids don't really use it for playing ball any more (when they play catch they do it out front because there's more room) I got to plant veggies! Yes, that's corn in the last bed. The plastic things are little sprinklers that we put in that don't waste as much water as regular ones. The other beds are on a drip system. I love it so far. I'll let you know how everything comes along and what our harvests are like! Do you have a vegetable garden?Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-35871771923059153742010-06-25T14:21:58.477-07:002010-06-25T14:21:58.477-07:00Your garden layout looks so lovely!

You are going to have a lovely bounty to show for it. <br /><br />I just mentioned the same thing on my blog about summer. I am having the hardest time getting my daughter going in the mornings. She is just so tired from all the camp fun from the day before, that mornings have been extremely rough. Hurt feelings, crying, slamming of doors, you name it. Girl drama!<br /><br />I've never been to Vancouver but a good friend just relocated there and she invited me for a visit! No date yet though.<br /><br />I am re-reading The Stand and sort of comparing it to The Passage. I loved both books btw.<br /><br />I am also reading Tinkers.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.com
