Fences they've put up that are supposed to help with beach erosion...actually supposed to keep more sand behind the fence...to make sand dunes.

Those are terrific pictures! A holiday would be so nice, but not in the books for us this summer. Once that haybine starts up, it's game over. Oh well, maybe next year.

And as for Speedos? They should be illegal unless worn on the starting blocks of an Olympic swimming race. :D :D :D :D

Oh, yes, Christmas presents for sure!!
Thanks for the pictures, JL. I bet it was a fun time.
Your son looks so young. Somehow I thought he was older
than Amanda...or is it some kind of illusion?

And that fence, we have them here. Only here they are
called SNOW FENCE. :wink: But for the same reason...except
drifting snow, not sand... :wink:

I picked any and all maters that even remotely looked like they were turnin ripe the day before we left.....that night I canned the one's that were ready, I also picked all the peas. Put the other tomatoes on the bottom shelf of my fridge right before we walked out the door.
Picked yesterday afternoon what was ripe.....and that was a whole bunch (one full bucket and a walmart sack).....but didn't loose but a couple that were overly ripe. So all n all...it went ok as far as the garden went. I need to go pick peas sometime tomorrow. And then I'll can all the tomatoes that I have right now probably tomorrow evenin.
