I'm gonna need some recipes!

I have to say I'm really happy with our raised garden bed project. A relatively small space has given us quite a bit of food and I'm not even utilizing the space to it's fullest because I'm still getting used to growing vegetables. The eggplants are beyond my biggest dreams for this garden. They just keep growing and flowering and producing. I kinda can't believe it. The plants are big with pretty purple or white flowers and huge leaves that hide the fruit. I bought a variety pack of eggplant seeds so I don't know what all these different ones are but I love that there's purple, white and green ones. I wonder if any other colors will pop up?

Happy Wednesday

We're supposed to get more rain today but it was bright and sunny this morning. I took the dogs on a much needed walk and we ended up jogging about half the way. Hooray! Then a hummingbird stopped to sit near my while I stretched after our jog. Such a nice morning. Now, what's for breakfast?

There's nothing like a test drive

Is this the rainiest October on record? We had a gloomy, foggy summer that we kept thinking would clear and blast us with a heat wave. It didn't and we didn't order the roof. September and October are the locals' summer months in San Diego. These months are usually warm and sunny with big empty beaches free of tourists. But they weren't, they were misty and wet. So between a cloudy summer and rainy autumn here we are thankful for two alternating weekends of sunshine during which we roofed our little hearts out.
