Quick Ohio Visit

Recently I made a quick trip back to Ohio to see my siblings and their families. 
It was precious, precious time together. 
Siblings - We have one more sister in the Boston area

Each evening we talked late into the night. The evenings were cool. 
I enjoyed the sound of the locusts. The almost full moon gave us beautiful light. 
The only thing missing were fireflies. Our summer evenings in Kirkland are not lit up by fireflies and we aren't serenaded by locusts or cicadas - just doesn't feel or sound like summer!
We have been friends since 3rd grade 
We took an early morning walk on the farm - beautiful & very peaceful
The dog bounded into the garden and emerged with a ball (tiny watermelon). 
The day before he brought out a cantaloupe - a garden full of balls!
The best tasting tomatoes I've had in decades. They were something "pink" and were heirloom tomatoes. We had them for dinner, breakfast, and lunch! Full size tomatoes don't ripen on our side of the Cascades - there aren't enough hot days for the tomatoes to ripen. Cherry tomatoes - maybe.
