The bounty from the garden went to our choir potluck - I like to steam my corn - it doesn't end up so watery that way - and you can get a few more ears in the pan if you are just steaming them.
It was the best corn ever this year - especially after The Shepherd built a fence around the corn patch to keep the raccoons out!
This is our weeping giganticum - It is now missing it's whole left arm and streamers hanging down. That part of the tree split and landed on the house (luckily no damage to the house) during the windstorm two weeks ago.
I'm missing summer - so are the kittehs - one of George's favorite spots to sleep was on the hood of the car after it was all nice and heated up. Funny cat, that George.
I had a small patch of sunflowers growing in the back yard - I always meant to cut some and take them into work - but, #1 - I am always running late in the a.m. & #2 - sadly, there really is no room on my desk for a vase - I miss that.
It was very exciting to be featured on MOUSEBREATH last week - That Jan and her Feline Funny Farmers - what a busy lady - she does a lot to get cat bloggers to get to know each other -
The aforementioned corn patch - with the annual pumpkin patch in front We still have much of the pumpkin that i froze last fall left in the freezer - it was just too hot to bake from May - October this year.
My little sphinx girl - Gracie and George will be three years old next week (Tues. 10th) - it is incredible the amount of joy they bring us.
We've been blessed here in the Pacific NW this summer - idyllic sunny days and nights where the warm breezes wash over you like a tropical ocean wave.
The cats have begun to demand extra food - are they storing up for a long cold winter? I hope not.
Have a good week.

I just read your interview on Mousebreath and am happy to meet fellow kitties from the great Northwest! That corn sure looks good. But that giganticum is kind of scary looking. It looks like it could sprout legs and come lumbering after you. I think I will stay away from bushes that look like creatures!
