bee-cause it was there

not often a bumblebee moves slowly enough for me to capture it with a crappy phone camera. it's fall for sure... these guys are moving pretty damn slow.

how can you tell the deer have been visiting overnight?

when your hostas look like this... oh well, as long as it keeps them from grazing on food in the vegetable garden.

i LOVE a summer breeze

i'll even suffer through allergies to feel a nice breeze blowing through the house.

homemade pretzel (veggie) dogs

tried out this recipe on slowroasteditalian.com tonight. they look good (cooling, right now). i used veggie dogs. use whatever you like... it went fairly smoothly despite all the steps...

they were great! my belief is that this is a little too much dough for 8 small hot dogs. you could probably cover 10 small hot dogs or 8 larger dogs. they also recommend things like jalapeno and cheese bites. i'd give just about any pretzel-friendly filling a try with these.
