LATELY...(via iPhone)

The garden has been out of control. It's slowing down now that it's dropping to the 40's at night, but I successfully made it through the summer without having to buy tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapenos, green peppers or basil.
I got a new car!
The Ford is still slowly giving out on me, by giving out on me I mean blowing through catalytic converters like they're cheap or something. After the third catalytic converter in 18 months failed, I decided it's time to invest in a new every-day car. The MINI! It's wonderful, like a go-kart for adults, and oh-so-cute. The Ford is still around, but strictly for hauling and camping because it sadly can't handle too much more. 

Best part? Although he wasn't able to make it to the test drive, Chubbs still fits!
 
Mica, being Mica.

Night out in Philadelphia for Heather's birthday! We hardly ever make it all the way into the city anymore because West Chester has so much going on, so it's nice to have an excuse to go every once in a while.

A visit with the almost-two-year-old (woah!) Nephew, Ryan. He is so much fun; we had a blast going to the zoo, playing in the founatin, getting ice cream, going swimming and just being silly together. He's such a cutie.

Fall is (un)officially here (I think 3 more days and it'll be official...)! But more importantly this also means my favorite beer, Oktoberfest, is available in our local brewery. The weather was beautiful so Pete and I checked out the Restaurant Festival in town on Sunday; the crowds were suffocating so we escaped into Iron Hill Brewery for a pint of Oktoberfest and a seasonal Sampler. The perfect Fall-ish Sunday afternoon :)

I SPY A STRAWBERRY!


So excited.
I guess these things really do work!

MY LITTLE GARDEN


Although only half of it looks planted, I assure you it's all filled with little veggie sprouts. Now fingers crossed that they survive the still 49 degree nights! When is it going to be warm and stay warm?!

TOPSYTURVY THURSDAY



I caved. And bought two TopsyTurvys. Not just one, no I couldn't stop there, I went out for the tomato TT and happened across a strawberry one too; didn't even know they made them, so naturally I had to rescue that one too.  They just look so promising! They were fairly easy to plant and hang, now I just have to keep on top of watering them EVERY DAY. I tend to have problems with that (I may or may not have killed a cactus the dad bought me) so we'll see ; fingers crossed for lots of fruits!
