And so much for that...

It seems I am too busy to write every day, or even every week. Scratch that, new goal - let's try getting something onto the blog once a month!

This past month has been very busy with the beginning of the school year - for myself, and for the boy. He started grade one, full days at school, and has decided that he really doesn't like school, he just likes playing. And his teacher wants to talk to me about his classroom behaviour. Still waiting on that call, teach.

As for my education, it is getting more and more expensive and my educational goals are getting more and more muddled. I'm taking 4 classes, all in different disciplines. Two of them are in an extremely disorienting online format. I've been behind in my reading from the get-go. As I am every semester, so why do I still complain?

But the tomatoes are finally starting to ripen!!

It's not the bumper crop I always imagine, and I'm certain most of them will have to be picked green or risk rotting on the vine as autumn creeps in, along with the ubiquitous West Coast rain, but I finally got to eat garden fresh tomatoes. I've been waiting ALL summer for this.

Any good recipes for green tomato preserves?
