This is the first whole watermelon that I've purchased, ever. I never liked it before but have been buying slices recently and enjoying it. I don't like anything that's watermelon flavored but I'm pleased with this new direction my tastebuds have taken.

Three boats lined up, stocked with water, beer and munchies. Emily and Margie joined me for a lovely lazy birthday paddle at Pohick Bay.

Thunder rocked the house as rain pelted against the windows during a storm this afternoon. It put paid to a planned camping trip today but there's still tomorrow!

This cute little building has been converted from a ruin to a little sandwich shop. Looking forward to it opening.

Marshall Main Street at sunrise. By this time next year this small town will have lost those electrical poles and it will be looking like all the towns along Rte 50 with bricked walkways and stripped of its personality. I'm dreading it...

The Meadow looking misty and sleepy as I drove off to work at 6:00 this morning.

Bill and I dug up onions, potatoes and picked tomatoes and peppers from our allotment this evening. When I got home I picked another bowl of tommies from my patio. I'm going to be eating well for the rest of the week!
