For me it was the outstanding watermelons,
this is the first summer that I can remember , NOT having to return 4 or 5 watermelons to the store.

I did not have to return one melon !

and most were delicious .

this years crop was better than candy ,
How's bout you ?

I'm not a fan of summer either. So I'll say the best thing about this summer is that it wasn't as hot as usual. Cooler than normal, and rainy.

Retirement. Moving back home to be with family. I don't have to hear about family over the phone anymore.

Vacation in Bavaria (thankfully after their heat wave broke). Can't beat the biergartens, King Ludwig's castles and the great food.

Grew a new to me variety of cherry tomatoes, Super Sweet 100, and they produced tomatoes even even during the hottest weather. They aren't quite as tasty as husky red cherry tomatoes, but they're close and have produced more tomatoes than the Husky Reds did last year.

All of my other heat tolerant varieties quit producing tomatoes 6 or 8 weeks ago. They're alive and should start producing again in 2 or 3 weeks.

Got to spend a lot of time on the lake bass fishing. It's been a good summer.




Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.

I am enjoying the rain and cool front this weekend. This summer I made a lot of cold soups, gazpacho, vichysoise, megyleves, and corn chowder.

Did several great hikes in Glacier Park. Headed up this week for another while the weather holds.

#2 would have to be my rides all over the West in my 2017 SS Camaro. Like going back in time 50 yrs to my youth.

Won my first sailboat race. Point to point, 25 mile race up the South Florida coast. It was early in the summer and was a great start.
