'tis the season ... to harvest the garden. I've had success with two crops this year that I've failed miserably with in the past: tomatoes and carrots. This is what I picked last evening:
There are still more tomatoes coming. Since we are leaving in a few days, I've given my neighbours the green light to pick to their heart's content.
Speaking of leaving ...
Harry leaves tomorrow for his annual "Golf Safari" in Fairmont, BC. He's taking the motorhome so today will be a flurry of activity gettting it packed up for a 5-week tour. It's also supposed to be our hottest day yet this year. Figures.
Over the next 4 days I'll finish up some office work, then wash up the last bits of laundry and clean the house. Our niece, Anya, will be house- and fish-sitting for us. Yay! I always feel better having someone stay in the house while we are gone.
Monday, I'll toss the few personal items I'll still have here, and the dogs into my car and drive out to Fairmont to meet up with Harry. We'll probably stay in Fairmont for a day just to get settled in the RV and get the perishable groceries. (Harry's not actually staying in the RV for Golf Safari so it won't be stocked with any perishables.)
We'll be heading straight down into Montanna then veering west and heading for Seattle. From there it will be a leisurely tour down the coast -- stopping wherever we want and staying as long as we want in any given spot.
I'm a little nervous about travelling with Louise because she's so young AND because she's a furry ball of energy right now. If she doesn't get her daily run, she's bouncing off the walls.!! Oh well, Harry keeps assuring me that she'll settle into the routine on the road.
Well ... the clock on the wall says it's time to gather the dogs and head off to the vet to get their international health certificates so we can cross the border with them. It's going to be a busy day ... :-)
