Tap, Tap, Tap-- is this thing on?

You know it has been a long time since you've blogged when...

1) you forget how to log-in to the blog.
2) a full season has passed and you haven't blogged a word about it.
3) you consider redesigning the whole thing-- DO OVER!
4) your kid doesn't look much like his picture on your blog.

I've been so busy launching a website at work and various other work-related web stuff that the last thing I wanted to do was more of the same at home. I've mostly been futzing around on Farmtown in FB. I'm two levels away from farm nirvana!

The summer was great-- lots of time was spent outdoors since we had such great summer weather. Lot of parks added water playgrounds we just had to explore. Aidan and I planted our first garden this year which yielded a bumper crop of zucchini, tomatoes, and lettuce (we're still enjoying a late batch of green beans.) Paul built a fine fence complete with trellis and arbor so I could plant four kinds of clematis. We visited with friends and family from out of town-- it was a busy summer!
