Catching up

My garden was a success. The tomatoes are still growing but they are all splitting. I'll try another variety next year. I finally picked my final watermelon. It weighed over twenty pounds. It took 4 months to ripen. I gave most of it away. The melon was too big to store in the refrigerator. It was de-licious! I did plant a couple more pole beans. They grow like crazy. Also I planted radishes again. They like the cooler weather. We'll see how it goes,

I bought Noodle the Anxiety wrap. It's a very tight fitting jacket that soothes her and keeps her calm in severe weather. It is the greatest. anxietywrap.com

Check it out.

Bob left on a motorcycle trip with his group. They are going to October fest in Daytona, FL. I'll keep you posted. Hopefully I can finish up a few projects in the next couple weeks. I'm making a Halloween quilt, still knitting a sweater and trying to finish up the binding on another quilt throw.

Also this summer I gave the go ahead on a motorcycle with a side car. I rode in one this summer and it was great fun and comfortable. The only trouble with this one is that Bob is having carburetor trouble. So it looks like we're not going anywhere this year. I wasn't there when he bought it with the advice from his friends but my motto would be, "If it's not running properly, don't buy it. But, I must say it is wicked cute sitting in the garage.

Oh, I almost forget. In September I walked a half marathon, 13.1 miles for the Dana Farber Jimmy fund. Here I am returning home from the walk that went from Wellesley to Copley Place in Boston. I got the impression from my brother that he couldn't believe how my look changed. He didn't come right out and say it but he was thinking "old and ugly". Oh well, I am what I am.

At least I'm walking.
