As seen, Sam was a skeleton in cowboy boots (boots not pictured here).

Smoothie
We made smoothies (Sam calls them hoomies) the other night and he laughed so hard at himself making a mess while drinking it that he actually threw up. It was one of our messiest and apparently for Sam the funniest treat yet!

Arizona
Sam and I had such a great time in AZ. It felt good to have one last taste of summer weather before coming back to the fall.
He loved Montana and Rocky. I think he thought he was one of them.

Fall Cookout
We have been getting some good use of the Paella Pit. It is very versatile and worked well for hot dogs and s'mores this weekend. Sam only lost a few hot dogs to the flames.
And here is a familiar sight on our blog...naked Sam!
And another familiar sight, more produce from our garden...

Garden 2009
We've really loved having a garden this summer in our new backyard. With daily attention from Sam (see below), we have grown tomatoes, squash, watermelon, raspberries, strawberries, peppers, plums and apricots.
It all started out very humbly last spring:
But within a few weeks, just look at that squash and tomatoes:
We haven't tried a watermelon yet, but they are getting bigger daily:
Funny enough, the watermelon and squash plants have taken over the lawn, so I stopped mowing that part a few weeks ago:
And what started as four little tomato plants has turned into a giant tangle. A few weeks ago we had to buy reinforcement tomato cages in the form of a wire fence around the plants (barely visible below):
Now we have a ton of tomatoes just waiting to be picked:
"Gardening is the handiest excuse for being a philosopher. Nobody guesses, nobody accuses, nobody knows, but there you are, Plato in the peonies, Socrates force growing his own hemlock. A man toting a sack of manure across his lawn is akin to Atlas letting the world spin on his shoulder . . . dig in the earth, delve into the soul. Spin those mower blades, and walk in the spray of the Fountain of Youth. End of Lecture."
