could always be this pleasant, I would be more of a fan of summer. Temps of 60s and 70s have spoiled us this weekend. I know we are due for increased temperatures this week....but if were up to me, I would love to have it like this all summer. Fans - no air conditioner required!
Garden needs water and DH is out working on an irrigation plan. We got our first Cherokee Purple tomato out of the garden and another squash - some issues with bugs and one of my pepper plants. Cucumbers are not being very productive and corn had a crisis. The tomatoes have gone wild, and the squash is doing us proud - lost the onions due to groundhogs. Beans are a little iffy. I would love to have squash and beans to freeze. We had one plum and a few strawberries, which we used , and a lot of blueberries. Want to get blackberries picked and get peaches to freeze up for winter time. Still figuring out what I will do with the tomatoes if we get a lot - to make a sauce and give away the delicious tomato abundance.
Researching about building the chicken house. Decided to wait until it was a little cooler to get our girls in - did not want to fight the heat and risk losing some - saw a greenhouse built with glass panels and thinking it might be great in a smaller version for winter with a cover for summer to keep it cooled off. Of course they will be totally boxed in with fencing so predators won't bother them or their eggs. The plans continue to percolate.....
Have designs to finish for the business and art journals to work on - lots on the plate....hard to get motivated on a wonderful summer Sunday afternoon - the sound of the cicadas through the windows- brings back memories of being a kid at the lake place- taking to the bunk beds with a good book - taking a nap - I think I hear the "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" and a Pepsi (I hardly ever drink sodas - maybe once every couple of months- miss the glass bottles) calling my name......maybe a nap after - later then.....Be blessed - Kim
