SAN MARZANO TOMATO PLANTS

Ciao! Here is a pic of my San Marzano tomatoes:

I am probably only going to yield about 10 actual tomatoes from the 2 plants. Next year I'll plant about a dozen and see what I get. I usually buy the canned San Marzano peeled tomatoes for my gravy/sauce - they definitely have a better flavor...

ETSY

OMG! I was perusing etsy.com and found the store for drinacat. Look at these scrumptious creations:

I'm especially loving the pink & mint green outfit for Mia's birthday next year!

LUSH discontinued...

my beloved Skinny Dip buttercream. How can this be??? They discontinued the liquid version a few years back - which I loved even more than the solid. I'm very upset...

Isn't this a great pic???

That's my son swinging on a tree at my friend Brooke's house. 

And of course I have to add a pic of my daughter with my friend's daughter in NH:

Baby girl's legs look so long!!!

Changed my mind...

we are going with the Benjamin Moore Sidewalk Gray. It looks much more sophistcated and, in a way, neutral. Now I need to find some gray bedding/accessories. Any ideas???

New Hampshire

We have been in NH since Friday. The previous 2 days were wonderful, but today is overcast, rainy, and quite chilly - more of the same tomorrow. It's easy to go stir crazy with the kids up here. But I do love being on Lake Winnipesaukee. There are some quirky stores and the vibe is just chillaxed...
