The summer flowers in the garden are starting to wilt
The leaves on the trees are turning golden brown and fluttering to the ground
Can you feel it in the air

Apple stands on the side of the road
Warm days and cool crisp nights

My favorite time of year

Sailing

I have never been truly sailing before. What an experience! Kate invite 30 of her friends for a day on the bay for her 26th birthday. Rick and I were among the crew that set sail from the Ramp in San Francisco on one of the hottest days of the year.

Smooth going out to Alcatraz...and then the sails went up and we were sailing! The boat started to lean like you see in a photo. Well, I guess I wasn't paying too much attention, I was wrapped up in my thoughts, the next thing I knew EVERYONE else was on the upside of the boat and I was hanging on for dear life!!! All I could do was laugh. I do have to admit I was very frieghtened but it was great fun!

This is my very first tomato EVER!!!! I know many of you have done this many, many times, but this is very exciting for me. My first EVER!!!! I know I won't be setting up any produce stands but it looks like I will have a few more soon.I will watch it and take care of it carefully. I must say I am a little afraid that Bentley is going to eat it, if he does I may be listing him on Ebay!
