I've practically forgotten about LiveJournal since starting to follow the antics of my family & friends on Facebook. It's rather a shame because one can actually say more here. However, when the kids move on, I must also to keep up with their doings.
Fall is here despite the calendar. We are expecting sub freezing temperatures tonight. I brought what plants I had at camp down to the Hobbit Hole & set up a little green house made of a metal frame with shelves & a plastic cover that zips. Now all the plants from the patio are protected for the night.
The garden here has been sorely neglected. I had such hopes for both flowers & vegetables, but only the flower garden has anything to show. It is small but a good start. There are still pots of plants to be dug into the ground before snow; a couple of rose bushes, perennials, and another bush I cannot remember what it is. But it's pretty. Rhododendron?
John & I are going out to dinner tonight with Linda & Joe and Diane & Garth. Linda & Joe will be heading back to their winter home in Fulton, near Syracuse, next week, so this will be our final meal together. The three couples have had fun the past two summers, hosting one another for a yummy casual meal about twice or more a month. We all pitch in, but the hostess usually provides the entre. Linda and Diane are both good cooks.
We also have had the fun of having Pat at the dinners & Julie, Duncan and Travis. Plus we ate at Pats a couple of times. We are so much more social in camp than anywhere else.
Must go outside to meet John & the others, who will be picking me up to go out.
bye.
