Recent Adventures

Sean and I have had a very busy past couple of weeks. Sean started grad school classes about 3 weeks ago, I am less than a week away from being done with my last clinical rotation, and we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on July 4th. While trying to stay cool during the most recent heat wave and trying to survive the crazy thunder storms, we have managed to have tons of fun with friends.

We lost power on a friday night about 2 weeks ago (and didnt get it back for 3 days). Luckily we had already planned to spend Saturday with Natalie and Evan touring vineyards in the Shenandoah Valley. Several of the places we had planned to visit were closed due to power outages but we still managed to do wine tastings at Wolf Gap Vineyards and Shenandoah Vineyards. I particularly like Wolf Gap because the owners name was Willard! We had such a blast with these two!

How cute are they?

We also went to a DC United vs. Montreal Impact game to celebrate our anniversary. We had an amazing time at the game and Sean was thrilled because DC United won!

The Duffy Garden

After waiting patiently for the past several weeks... our tomatoes are finally starting to turn red. After the crazy thunderstorms we had several weeks ago, I wasn't sure if my cucumbers and tomatoes were going to make it. We also have tons of cherry tomatoes growing but they haven't started to turn yet. I was very excited to be able to pick my first cumber this morning... and there are plenty more on the vine. I cant wait to put this in my salad tonight!

Dont be fooled by the squash and zucchini plants on the left. I know they are HUGE and look healthy (they even have blossoms on them) but they haven't produced a single vegetable. All they are doing is taking over the whole garden and growing into my cucumber plant.
