We arrived home on Wednesday, July 4th. Later than expected-our fight was delayed a bit, then when we landed, we sat on the tarmac for about 45 minutes waiting for a gate. And, we stopped briefly at the grocery store on the way home, too. My tomatoes are mostly dead; apparently the sitter forgot to water them (though my indoor plants are alive, and my cats are very happy.) There are, however, some beautiful tomatoes on the plants now, and I may see if I can get some new tomato plants this week (not likely, but I'll try) or start some seeds. They're dead despite the rain that we apparently got while we were gone...just not enough, I guess. And the grass is tremendously high, but it's too wet to mow today. The crepe myrtle flowered while we were gone, and is looking very pretty.

Our trip was actually rather pleasant, though I'm sorry we didn't get to see friends in the NY area while we were there. We ended up with family obligations over the first few days we were there, and then a visit to Canada and a really lovely wedding, and then another day with my parents, plus an early celebration for my brother's birthday, and we flew home on the 4th, on a nearly empty flight. We'd expected to get home in time to see fireworks, but sat on the ground for about an hour waiting for a gate because of severe storms that had been in the area earlier.

The more complete summary:

( 6/21 )

( 6/22 )

( 6/23 )

( 6/24 )

( 6/25 )

( 6/26, 6/27, 6/28 )

( 6/29 )

( 6/30 )

( 7/1-Canada Day )

( 7/2 )

( 7/3 )

( 7/4 )

And that was our summer trip up north. I'd do it this way again-fly to Long Island, spend a few days there, rent a car/borrow a car drive to Canada, visit there, and then drive back. I don't think I'd do it in the winter, with less predictable weather, but it worked nicely in the summer. I'm sorry we had no time to see anyone-we ended up saddled with family obligations that I hadn't planned for, but we'll try and see everyone next time.

Fertility Blog

So as not to spam you too much...

We've created a new, co-written fertility related blog, which may include some of the stuff I write here, but will include perspective from both Cayne and I, and may include other things that I don't put in here. The blog is over at blogger.com, but I've created a feed for it here on LJ. I'll put a link in the sidebar to it as well.

melebeth-would you mind if I used the picture over there as well?
