I can't believe that it is already the 23rd day of September. Life is chaotic right now, and if it were not for my dad, my son's birthday party would not have had a cake, invitations or really anything except the bounce house/bungee run. My son turned 11 on the 18th but we had a party for him on Sunday, he wanted the bungee run from the inflatable bounce house company. So I did schedule that! But without me dad going to the store and buying the cake and frosting and party invitations, we would not have had a party. Then Saturday came, I was going to bake the cake that night. But my son had a football game to go to at 1:00, so ofcourse he dinked around and made us late! Which is something that I really don't like! But the stress of trying to get him ready was not good and so I got a migraine, granted not a full blown one, but enough that I was out of it that night. Then Sunday my son and I had to go and sell popcorn in front of Raley's Supermarket from 10-1, and his party was at 2. So sould have been fine. And it was because my dad baked the cake, got hamburgers ready to barbeque, had hotdogs ready also!! If it was not for my dad these last couple of weeks, I would have more gray hair and constantly stressed.
Other than that, I harvested the garden tomatoes, received a good 3 dozen!! some really nice big ones!! I was going to take pictures, and I just realized that I have not done that yet!! I will get them taken either today or tomorrow and post them. We also harvested our lone pumpkin. So I will get a pic of that also.
Well, I need to get back to work, just wanted to ramble for a little.

I think you're lucky to still be getting tomatoes. I'm still getting a few, but they are the size of golf balls. I don't know what happened! In the middle of the "heat", they were growing like gangbusters, (whatever that means) LOL But to be honest, I've had enough. I have perhaps 5 in a basket and several on the vines ready to pick, and I just didn't bother. And, btw, you're lucky to have your dad !....Hilda

Sounds like your son had a fun birthday party. A bungee jump? I bet that was a big hit! I'm still getting a few tomatoes, but it won't be for very long now. I'm probably going to pull them up soon, they are looking tired and worn out. BTW, what's Mabon???

thank you all for the comments! Yes my dad is pretty special! I tell him all the time lately that I appreciate how much he has been doing to help me.
Yeah the bungee run is fun, it is from the same company as the bounce houses, but it is like having two racing lanes next to each other, there is a harness on both sides with a bungee cord. you try to race the other person the end and the bungee pulls ya back!! not to worry you are on and surrounded by the air filled balloon type thing. about 1 1/2 - 2 feet on the three sides. So even when you are pulled back, ya bounce!!! tons of fun!!
Oh and Twiggybet1, Mabon is another name for the Fall Equinox.
