My daughter and family came for a visit over the Labor Day weekend. The weather was beautiful. We haven't had company for many weeks so it was extra special. Saturday we went for a hike on a nearby trail.
We had our masks with us but they weren't needed, people were few and far between which was a relief for me because I have trouble breathing through them.
The grand kids are doing well being home schooled and are enjoying the flexibility. Their school system is such a mess they certainly are better off.
We ate our meals on our porch and I finally picked and cut the watermelon I grew. The kids held their breath as I sliced it because they knew Oma was going to have a fit if it wasn't ripe.
It was perfect,very juicy and sweet. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
I hope you had a nice holiday weekend also.hiking on tral 3.jpgHiking.jpg
 

So glad you had your family @Ruth n Jersey . Those boys are handsome and I liked seeing your woods. Good to be outside and yes, it was a nice weekend weather wise in CT too.

I never grew a watermelon, (nor any food except tomatoes and green beans). Flowers; plenty! What a thrill to pick and serve your own watermelon and I bet is was fabulous.

Since I have your attention, I want to tell you I grew another "dish" celery. It only goes so far, which isn't much, but I got a goodly mince out of the tiny stalks and leaves for my shrimp salad!
 

Not to rain on your parade, but AAA is reporting that about 400 people lost their lives on the roads this past Labor Day.
