Don't laugh. This is a small sample of the harvest of the summer of 2011. I decided to try jalapeno as well as cherry tomato, basil, rosemary, chives,and flowers. I am making all things tomato from my fruit and those given to us by our friends Sally and Ron from Three Rivers. Think guacamole, tomato, grilled zucchini salad, caprese, brushetta, blt's,

Frankfort harbor and the arrival of the Lynx, an 1812 replica ship. Mike went sailing on it.

Sun, sand, the great waters of Lake Michigan.

Another summer, another batch of tomatoes! Cherry are already producing fruit and others are getting ready to ripen. Good summer for herbs also.

Our fast boats on the lake

At the wedding

Linda and Jan at Erin and Fyfe's wedding in NC on Sunday. The wedding was very nice but the weather was HOT! Glad to be back at the lake.

Who is eating my tomatoes!!!

It is not me...One day they are growing big and juicy and hoping to turn red and purple like the Purple Cherokees they are and the next someone is chewing on them! I had to cut them off to help the rest of the plant and to see if I can distract the varmit that is doing this. I am guessing a racoon but maybe I should do a DNA test to see what turns up.

Boats on the lake

We seem to buy a new boat every year and it needs to stop! The old Sea Doo went to a nice family on Houghton Lake and so we needed a partner for the Sea Doo (RED). Decided on a Yamaha FXSHO. RED of course. Here is the pair in the water yesterday. Mike and Dave riding.
