Woo-wee it has been hot and humid out the past week or so. High dew points (70's and 80's) combined with upper 80 temps and upper 90 temps makes things quite sticky outside! Usually we have a breeze, but not always. I've been checking the water several times a day on all the critters, making sure they have plenty, and salt as well. (Even Walter the rabbit!)
Jared is still here on leave, but I don't have any photos downloaded onto the computer yet, and Pat and Jared have the camera this afternoon. Kyle is out frolfing, he has the day off.
We've had BLT's several times from the tomatoes that are starting to ripen up in the garden. Canning will soon be upon us! We have gotten several Zucchini's as well. I have baby cucumbers...not quite pickling size yet. I can taste the homemade (canned) sweet relish...we are out of it! (One year we had a bumper crop and the dill and sweet relish lasted 3 years! Good thing, as the cucumbers the following couple of years didn't fare well.) I've learned to can like crazy when there is a good crop, because one never knows what the next year (or two) might bring for harvest.
A couple of parting shots--the house cats grooming each other and Anna giving Nessa a bath as well.
