Happy June !!!

Summer arrived here last week with temps in the 90's. I arrived home last evening after spending 8 days in Portland with Mom and Dad to rain, go figure. This morning we are still having showers and some sun. It was so hot while I was gone that my strawberries were to hot in the green house and we seem to be back to square one with them and the cucumbers. A learning experience. Lee's tomatoes just loved the heat and are really growing!!!
Mom and dad are coming along pretty well. Dad's tomatoes are starting to grow. He only did one plot this season. It is taking him quite a while to get his strength back after the radiation. Mom is doing well. My sister Debbie came up to Portland this last week and we had a good time together with mom and dad.
Shannon is expecting the baby a week or so early according to the Dr. around the 18th of June. She is ready today I think. The ultra sound showed the baby at about 6lbs 12oz now and if she goes 3 weeks gaining about 1 lb a week that will make almost a 10 pound baby, ouch!
Clint, Tanya, and Dane are doing well. Dane brought home a bug and happily gave it to his father. Clint wishes he would keep the bugs to himself. I remember when the boys were little that they gave me plenty of bugs!!!
Well, there is a break in the rain so I guess I will go dig in the dirt for a while.
Bye for now. My Poor strawberries will hopefully do better next year. Lee did get to eat one!

There is still hope for the tomatoes they seem happy!!!
