fleeting hours

  I am in denial... denial.. that summer is almost over. I look at summer with such rose colored glasses...I think of summer evenings a lot like desserts.... sweet endings that everyone wants more of. My son has no early bedtime... No looming homework.. and after dinner there is a long pause .... no hurry... just more free time...
but in reality.. we just have a few fleeting hours... left.. but we did do some fun things....

 Garnet mines...

Sloothing....(panning for gems stones)

fun in the car...

frog catching...

just rocking in a rocking chair on our porch... 

crayfish.... finding..

enjoying popsicles... and beyblades...( why on earth is my son's bathing suit so low)

 visiting with my friends new puppy.. and my son and his Lemonade stand....

He was so excited when he made 20.00 ... in the end his total was 40.00
we sold, vegetables from the garden... and  honey. I even made..lemonade cupcakes...

We planned a surprise party for James' girlfriend...

strawberry theme....

enjoying.. a devils food cake ball.. shaped like a strawberry....

 what did I do this summer...I got to meet my cousins... new baby... I went to a baseball game in nyc... and I went tubing down the Esopus river...

So ... I will hope to squeeze in some more fun... like the drive in... the beach.... time to revel in the twilight of summer for a few more fleeting hours. Tell me what you love about the end of summer.... and I will be sharing a recipe called end of the summer vegetable torte.. or my recipe for grilled tomato salsa, or green friend tomatoes.
I also have a great shrimp taco recipe.. and a weight watchers spicy corn on the cob soup... get all the summer food favorites... before summer ends....
toes.
