Both of the boys are out of town too, so it's very quiet around here.
2. The fireweed is blooming.....they say once the blooms reach the top of the plants Summer is over.
It's quite true.
3. The Delphinium is in rare form this year....
4. A couple of weeks ago a little girl named Fiona was here with her family picking produce. We were discussing how fennel tastes alot like licorice, and how we both disliked licorice. I explained to her that when you cook it it tastes completely different....really delicious. Her mother harvested a fennel plant to take home, and as they were leaving I heard Fiona say, "I just can't WAIT until you get home and cook that fennel!"
When I overheard that I suddenly realized - that's why I was put here on this earth.
5. July is our rainiest month of the year....the Lord has been merciful.....the sun actually comes out once in a while!
6. I am now growing cedar kindling sticks....
Just kidding....I stuck them in the ground to stop the cat from digging in the garden....so far it's working.
7. I picked about 10 ripe raspberries this morning....
8. The carrots are not quite big enough yet to pick....
But I'm a sucker, so I let the kids that visit the U-pick garden each pick one. They're so delicious!
9. I'm still mourning the loss of the garlic scapes.....

Psalm....go get a cheeseburger and a milk shake for crying out loud!

10. The honeysuckle is blooming and its scent takes me way back. I don't know why, but it reminds me of my Grandma Schweitzer.
