Sam has been bugging me for cheese crackers.  Since I refuse to purchase highly process snack foods we had to make them.  Just because we mixed together and baked these tasty morsels  right here at home does not mean they are healthy!  Especially when you sit and eat them.  All.   We did a batch of cheesy, rosemary garlic this time and they are (were) mouth watering good!  I think I might blog the process in the Daily Bread!  Keep your eyes peeled....

Heavy fog and a brisk wind this morning.  I have faith it will all clear up by noon though.   The Weatherman says it's going to be a hot one today!

Here's my first carrot of the season.  I had to pull him prematurely due to the fact his was an accidental planting in the walkway and the greens had finally been stomped off his top.  Regardless, he's the first and was SO sweet!  Dave and I took turns chomping him down to nothing.... a total of four bites!  The best is yet to come.

Our neighbors has some visitor arrive by air this afternoon.  It was just a bit unexpected by most.  It felt like old times for us though.

This morning Zach and I had the privilege of working the first water station for the Tacoma City Half Marathon.  There were over a thousand runners and walkers registered for this race.  The racers couldn't have asked for better weather, cool temps, overcast skies and a little fog.  Since we were the first stop, our station was cleaned up and cleared away by 8:30AM.

I got this shot from the Gig Harbor side this afternoon while I was waiting for Zach to finish his driving session.  Why do the trees look all fuzzy and blurry?  Oh... that would be the torrential rain coming down on us.  Happy Pacific Northwest Summer!

Pie.  Blackberry pie.  Homemade blackberry pie.  With berries picked from the front slope this morning.  A tender, crispy crust made from scratch.  Whipped cream whipped by hand.  Oh, how I love blackberry season.
