It has been ice cream weather here! Yum!
Last week I decided to harvest my pumpkins because I didn't want them to be sitting out in the heat any longer. I got three this year - all about the same size, but definitely different colors!
Meanwhile in the garden, these volunteer marigolds are very happy to be out from under the pumpkin vines. And two more volunteer pumpkin plants are growing!
Today (Wednesday) was my favorite volunteer activity of the year - stuffing the backpacks that are given to kids who help getting their school supplies. We did somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 of them this year!
LeeAnna's question of the week is about a favorite vacation - and what made it memorable. We seem to enjoy vacations that involve boats and bridges, and one of our favorite bridges to visit is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. We've been there quite a few times, but two favorite trips really stand out. One trip was with both of our kids, and I got this picture. Probably my favorite family photo of all time!
Everyone always asks why I think of this as a family photo - and
it's because I took it - so I was there, too!
Another favorite trip there was when took the "Bridge to Bridge" ferry tour around San Francisco Bay which went from to the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate, under it and back around.
My happy husband, on the boat ride with his camera
and his favorite bridge in sight!
The ice cream looks yummy. Do you have a favorite flavor ? Yah on the pumpkin harvest! Your marigolds are looking wonderful. I hope you are to get another pumpkin or two for the small vine. That is a wonderful photo of the Golden Gate Bridge and the fam. Someone has to take the photo . Right? Lol. Happy Thursday, Diann. Hugs
