A warm summers day!!












Today is one of Canterbury's best! Sir Ladbrooks and I ventured into the front garden to clear some growth, and finished that by 10, after 2.5hrs work - feeling VERY satisfied! Then inside to hide downstairs under one of the air cons - BLISS!

Now the third photo shows my beautiful Gleditsia at our front gate, number two is the harvested produce from today, yay to me! and numero uno is Mah Boiys new baby - Marley was welcomed to our family about 3 weeks ago, and he comes and spends time with me on the REALLY hot days - lucky me!
w
We have had a lot of produce from the garden, including tons of potatoes! And tonight we are having a coleslaw made with home-grown cabbage, cheese, home-grown red onion, home-grown tomatoes - I am LOVING this home-grown!!! Tonight we have Mr and Mrs PB and two other couples coming for a bbq before we all retreat back to our world of little people from ages 5-12 starting with Professional Development days on Monday, thru Wednesday then Teacher Only day on Friday.
It has been a great holiday, and I have achieved megaloads of resources being made ready for the new year - I am working for 2 days a week (Mon,Tues) with another woman at a school about 15mins away from home in the country - in fact, the same one Mr PB works at! We have a yr 5/6 class, and I am really looking forward to it.
well, a bit brief, but contact at last - the PB's and other have just arrived for dinners. Thanks for reading, folks

Hello Ngaira,
Greetings from the midwest. It's so nice to see pictures of summer. Peoria is still covered with a least 3 inches of snow. I see that your garden is doing very well, nothing beats freshly picked produce from the backyard. Yes... i can hear the complaints now :-), we've been really bad at keeping in touch. SO our excuse is the evil corporate America is taking up all our time. Do post pictures of your garden, i really missed the roses in your backyard. Send our love to Keith. Angela & Jim Kalafut
