Hiking Laundry Mountain

Well, it's official. The Tipton's are going on vacation in 3 days!
In preparation for Breckenridge, CO, I've been sorting clothes and washing laundry. Then it's time to dry the clothes and fold the laundry... It's really a never ending cycle. Actually, now that I think about it, there seems to be lot of work that goes into taking a vacation. As my "Vacation To Do List" grows and grows, I've wondered if the endless vacation preparation doesn't somehow defeat the purpose of the vacation itself.

Muddy Saturday....

This summer the Tipton's planted a garden with squash, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, cantalope, honeydew, tomatoes, flowers, basil and rosemary. We enjoyed working together to plant, weed and harvest the produce and we're already looking forward to improvements and expansions for next summer.

The delicious vegetables fed us many nights and we had enough to share with friends. Our favorite dish from the veggies quickly became homemade tomato sauce which we used for pizza, YUM!

Since, all good things must come to an end, today we cleaned out the squash, zucchini and cucumber (along with a few weeds). We replanted the rosemary and basil to bring indoors. Because of recent rain, we had several inches of mud in the garden. Of course, if there's mud - Jonathan must play in it! Here are a few photos of the garden clean up.

Labor Day Weekend!


Here's a recent photo of Jonathan with his friend Maddy. Everytime he threw down his sippy cup, Maddy would hand it back to him.
