Our host is Gattina. Come join us and tell us what YOU did this past weekend! After all, you never know when you will need an alibi!

The highlight of our weekend was definitely the wedding, but we also had other things going on, as this is America’s biggest Holiday Weekend. It is the 4th of July! Independence Day! Woo-hoo!
It means picnics and fireworks, and being thankful for the freedoms we have in this country. I thank my sister for this beautiful pictures taken last year at our local fire works.
Saturday I actually went into a grocery store, crowded as it was, and picked up a few things. I could not believe the number of people in there. We usually have summer tourists who come to enjoy our lakes and mountains, but due to the cost of gasoline, this year we are flooded with New Englanders who can drive close by and have a mini vacation.
Sunday is was just plain gloomy, gray, and cool, with showers off and on. Just not one of those super summer days like we enjoyed last week. Hubby and I tried to sleep in, but the dogs woke me early and I got up with them. Hubby slept in for a while, but then was up in plenty of time for “Breakfast at Wimbledon”! It was fantastic to watch Novak Djokovic with his first Wimbledon title.
My garden is growing really well, and enjoyed the rain sent from above, in fact my peas have flowers! Yay! Also my squash and zucchini are growing very nicely!
In fact we cut this squash today and will be eating it tomorrow!
This zucchini will be ready for cooking very soon.
My Ichiban Eggplant will also be ready this week.
And the tomatoes are starting to get some size!
So, today, Monday the 4th, we are going up the hill to our neighbors house for a cookout. Her grandchildren will be here from the West Coast and we are really looking forward to seeing them all.
So, that’s my weekend. How was yours?
Have a great day MB! It´s good to have good neighbors. Your plants look so vibrant!
Nice Pictures, especially the fireworks one! LOL! Love YOU, Mel
Wow ! it looks as if the vegetables are doing great ! you will not starve ! Wimbeldon is only interesting for Arthur, he follows the ball on the screen.
Lots of work on the farm the past weekend, but also lots of relaxing moments in the sun. Really nice. Oh, those fireworks: hubby would have loved to see them, he is a real fireworks freak… lol
