August in review

By now, all of you reading this know that I'm truly the worst blogger ever. With that said, here's what's been going on....from last month :)

A reason to miss Ft. Worth: my best friend, Krista & soon-to-be Baby Girl Makenna!
Here we are at the FW baby shower.

"...and they all fall down." The trees, that is.
Via chainsaws & tractors. Our tree on the far left is no more.
Galveston currently has a big tree replanting initiative going on now that they have removed all of the dead ones.

But have no pity because there are wonderful little things growing here! Our garden is doing great!

Back in mid June, I planted some butternut squash seeds without really expecting much.
To my surprise, they have done so well & have totally taken over!
Mmmm.....butternut squash soup, roasted butternut squash ravioli...coming up!
Delish.

And last, but certainly not least: my basil on steroids!
This stuff grows so easy here on the island--and with little effort. I love it when Stretch goes snooping around the garden and then comes inside smelling like basil!
