And....September aka Summer is over.

I have no idea where to begin.  Summer suddenly ended, although one week from today it was 100 degrees, but now I'm comfortable in jeans and boots.  My favorite outfit.
Here is a quick blast on the greatness September was....
Bill after Mackie's birthday party
Sammie's baseball game!
Joshie Coaching Sammie!
Kyle in town!
Compound!
Kyle attempting a hair mustache, but I just got my hair cut so its way shorter....


Bill and DEXTER!
Sheri and her new pup DEXTER.  He will never replace our beloved Dudley, but Dudley knows Sheri has so much love to give, he wants her to share it with other puppies.

Summer is too Short! My time in Michigan!

I had a GREAT TIME in Union, Michigan with a bunch of my friends for Mary-Frances's birthday.  The weather was perfect, it was a total and complete blast.  I'm so sad to be back at my desk working today.

 Mary-Frances's birthday. I made three pizzas for dinner: Chicken Sausage, Grilled Veggie & Arugula and Lemon (pictured).
 Jason Miklic can build one hell of a campfire!

Bumper crop?

Or I planted wayyyy too many plants. But whatever I love them.  Orange bowl is 2 days ago, the colander is today.

The Alevizos Farm P2, and stuff.


I finally made it to Lillie Q's when Amy came down to visit!  We have a lovely time! 


Look at my friend that just popped up!  So pretty!


I started these from SEED!  


Jalapenos!

Ok, they're SO out of control we had to put another fence in there to hold them back.


But look at my first ones of the season!  My hand looks weird.....

The Alevizos Farm

I love my yard.  And its mine!  Ok ours, but still.  One thing that Bill and I LOVE to do is garden, plant, water, and hang out in our back yard.  I went a little nuts this year and planted 21 tomato plants.  Yeah.  21.  And Beets, garlic, arugula, 4 kinds of peppers, fennel and herbs.  Yep.
 Poppies!

Poppies!  I started all these from seed, too!

  Beautiful Pink Lilies!

 Yellow lilies(?)

My tomatoes, peppers, beets, fennel, etc.  Wow. After our heat and rain they really took off!
Kind of everything here.
This was here when we moved in, the clematis. 
Crazy wild flowers!
