Summer living

A couple of 97 cent pool noodles certainly create a lot of entertainment. The beauty of the beach access that we have been frequenting is its simplicity. Just a patch of sand, a couple of picnic tables and a dock.


The boys can amuse themselves for ages with some rocks, some sand, some sticks, some water - and the entertainment value is increased even more with the addition of a couple of buckets and shovels and the aforementioned pool noodles.

The other day, the pool noodles were being used as light sabres and the boys were Jedi knights, albeit skinny half-naked ones!


And to change the subject completely, here's some great summer eating....fresh local tomatoes with a little green onion, olive oil and good salt. This was my breakfast today - a perfectly alkalising meal made with tomatoes bought from a local farmer. They taste so good that I bought 30 pounds of them! We are eating them at every meal.

Every meal, huh? That's a lot of tomatoes! Are they all red ones?

Mine are just starting to ripen. About bloody time, is all I can say. It's been a late season. Nice though - the peaches, the raspberries and the celery are all gracing the table. Lovely having a garden.

OK, rub it in, fresh tomatoes! I am so jealous, ours didn't do very good here, my husband says it's tired soil, we will need to nourish it again before trying again next year.
