It’s that time of the year, when the sun swelters down upon us, and my legs are covered in a myriad of insect bites. DmentD’s work organises a boat trip.

So out we trek to Lake Travis. This year they had enough people to hire two of the party barges and they were roped together for the trip so people could wander from boat to boat.

We sailed out, enjoying the breeze from the movement and being out on the lake, and docked, thankfully in the shade.

There was much food and drink (we took two of our latest beers, and the hard lemonade for it’s first test run in public), and joy and merriment. Neither of us swam at all but a good time was had (the leis were to show we had paid.. itchy round the neck so mine went round the hat).

Carrying on the trend of not really writing about anything, here are a few more recent photos of the garden.

First, remember that photo I posted of the new grass growing. This is what it looks like now… actually, DmentD mowed it down this weeked, but prior to that this is what it looked like *grins* It grew well, and now we know that seed works we’ll gradually fill in the bare patches across the rest of the garden.

Our tomatoes are growing well. These two were our first to fruit, just small cherry tomatoes, but the rest of them seem to be coming along and starting to fruit now.

Finally, some random photos of the clouds one evening.

Garden aside, life is plodding along. Nothing special happening. We’re brewing, we’re cooking, we’re working.. much the same as ever!
