September Activities

A couple weekends ago my dad and us went to Fielding Park to feed the ducks and walk around and play on some playground stuff. And that's almost exactly what we did. Here we are walking.

Sage is 'feeding' the ducks. And by 'feeding' I mean throwing chips and crackers and cheerios into the lake and having the ducks ignore us. Turns out ducks are snobs and only eat fluffy white bread. Which they were full of because of the group of kids who were there just as we got there, throwing the good stuff in.
Pretty.

Don't let's let any of us fall in!
Including YOU Tilly!

Walking the family and dogs down the lane.

Different ducks, just as snobby. They're all swimming away to that same group of kids with the white bread. Note all the ignored stuff we threw in.

So we gave up and went to the playground! Here's an action shot of Tilly sliding down the slide.

Sage's first Big Slide! He looks pretty excited.

Yep! It was fun!

My pea plants are STILL flowering and making big peas, even though we've already had at least one frost. Next year I'll definitely start them ON TIME.
Both the kids and I luurve fresh peas.
I had to fend off many hands in order to take this picture.

This picture was from a week or so ago. Since then the plants have become so top-heavy that my flimsy little dowels that I gave them have all broken or popped out of the ground and the whole thing is now sprawled on the ground. Next year I will have a MUCH weightier support system for the peas.
My watermellon flowered.. a couple days before the first frost. LOL I don't think I'll be getting a watermellon this year.
My tomatos! I've since harvested them and have a gazillion green ones and 3 or so red or turning-red ones. I have one for breakfast every day. They are SO tastey!
PUMPKIN!! I had two but the other one isn't growing very well. I have mildew and didn't catch it in time to save the life of the pumpkin. I thought it was dirt. Next year I will know better.
