Finn's face is priceless bringing in his first fish even if it is a croaker.<br />The thing about gardens is they keep growing as long as they have water and sunshine. You don't really have to do too much to them once they are planted but keep the weeds down and harvest when ready. Well that's my opinion of gardening and my gardens may not look pretty but I do get some veges so I must do something right.Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-53875443760857499862011-07-12T20:52:44.514-04:002011-07-12T20:52:44.514-04:00Looks like some great family time spent together. ...Looks like some great family time spent together.

I do miss being close to the beach but I don't miss the weather- not that we've been much better here the last few days. It was cooler here today but now we've got storms rolling through. At least we're getting some rain.<br />I do remember being out on the beach when the fleet left for the first Desert Storm. It was impressive watching them.

When we first got married, I didn't care to go fishing with hubby. As I've grown older, I started enjoying it more - the girls, not so much. :-/ I'm totally envious of your tomato harvest.
