Saturday we celebrated with Quinn her graduation from high school. I didn't take very many pictures because to be honest I brought my camera then forgot I had it. This is my official Quinn was at her grad party photographic proof!
There was lots of food!

Our graduation gift was gladly received! We have told Quinn that every college student needs a warm snuggie to get through college. She was adamantly against the thought of owning a snuggie but she could not resist the Gryffindor snuggie, she is now officially ready for college life!
While the grad party was going on our puppies were all partying at our house! We had 6 dogs in all, our two whippets, my brothers two cane corsos, and my parents two labs were all in the house. No worries, all were caged while we were gone so no harm to the house was done!
We had our first ripe tomato except for it was squishy and melted looking. Not sure why but we did get some intense heat rip through our area and we are thinking it got overcooked in the sun!
Our second ripe tomato!
All looked great until.....
The bottom was rotted and soft. This tomato had that from the start before it was even ripe and from research it looks like it is blossom-end rot. Known for affecting the first fruit of the season which these were our first. From reading up it's due to lack of calcium (common of first produce so not too alarming), can develop due to drought (we had a week of high humidity and a heat wave in the 90's this past week), and excessive rainy weather (we had 10 straight days of rain right before the heat wave). Seeing that we've had two of the three and our other green tomatoes seem to be doing well and not have the soft spot we are not too worried about it. We can't stop the rain but we are keeping them nice and hydrated during the hot days but we still consider it a success seeing that we had our first two ripe tomatoes!
We also enjoyed our first ripe blueberry! Brian and I shared it each with a tiny bite but we both approved! We didn't expect to get any fruit from the blackberry, raspberry, or blueberry bush but 3 points thus far for blueberry plant which is in the lead for fruition!
