Today is my Friday and our Daughter arrives this evening!  We are taking tomorrow off and will just spend time enjoying her visit.  Some friends invited us out on their boat Saturday and Sunday we have a BBQ to go to.  Should be fun and Meggie is looking forward to it.

My seeds are up already!  Spinach is a little behind the lettuce and radish and others but all are up and doing well.  The tomatoes plants look pitiful.  I think I will pull the last green tomatoes and take them out and prep that area for some more fall greens. 

Was just checking weather.com and it looks like we are going to have lots of rain the weekend of the 7th when we are going camping and fishing.  And something we haven't seen in a long time...high temps in the 70's!!!  Fall is coming!! 

The popup camper is cleaned and ready to go.  Rob Dog is chomping at the bit to go fishing with me.  He hasn't talked to me in three days since I put the trailer back in the garage.  He is mad because we didn't hook his camper to the van and leave.  Trying to convice him we are going soon but like any kid he wants to know, "Are we there yet!?!"

Well we are suppose to have an 80 percent chance for rain today.  Keeping my fingers crossed becaused I have really not watered much the last two days.  Will get out this morning and wet some of the containers down real good. 

My little old neighbor gave me a beautiful plant.  She said it is swedish ivy, but this thing is no ivy. I will take some pix when the sun comes up and see if you all can help me figure out what this thing is. 

The internet police at the office has blocked ALL but necessary websites.  So I am unable to check GG in the mornings or at lunch.  I am going to start carting my personal laptop to the office.  I only peek in on MY time so there!!!  Not like I don't do my work and 5 other peoples everyday!!  Okay enough bellyaching.  I know I sound bitter.

My fall beans are up and my beets are up.  Too hot still for anything else and the clock is ticking.  Might be all we get out of the fall garden.  My cukes have a few more small ones left, but I am not seeing any new flowers and I think they are about finished up.  Maters ripening all over the place and I have been living on toasted mater sandwiches for days.  No problem there I love eating them that way.  Though the boys will be glad when they are done.  Because at least three times a week I tell them it is "fend for yourself night"!  They don't eat maters like I do.

Well the dogs are up and giving me the evil eye.  They want their trip to the lake and then we will come home and water, pray for rain and does anyone have a spare snake?  Want to try out Angels grandfather's method for getting rain. 

 P.S.  I posted some pix of the mystery plant in the General Discussion Forum.
