Wow, what a busy weekend

Saturday there was the 2nd to last race scheduled, but it got rained out. It was also Bay Area Fun Festival weekend. Saturday is the big day with the Prefontaine Memorial Run, Parade, and the Cruz the Coos. Michelle had to work, but we got to go to the Cruz. Sunday was bright & sunny so they did two races in one day...we were pooped at the end of the day. Here's Riley & Me already to go for the first time trial.
Doug got to race too! Now that he's 16 & has his driver's license, he can race in a regular car. He didn't like the JR dragster when he was younger, far too closed in for his tastes. He had a ball & did both races, running in Sportsman class in this Aerostar panel van. Michelle was glad that she got to see him race, so it was kinda a mixed blessing that Saturday got rained out.

Back at our house, we've got several sunflowers in full bloom! They are gorgeous!

The spiders are also out in full force! Michelle likes spiders, I'm kinda on the fence about them. I realize they do a lot of good, but still...This one is on the apple tree & has been busy cleaning up the other creepy crawlies around the yard.
Here's a close up. He's a pretty good sized one & actually kinda pretty isn't he/she/it?

And the apples are ready to be picked. We'll wait until Riley comes home from school as picking the apples is one of her favorite things.
The little tomatoes are getting ready to go to. Here are the first three to be ripe.
