My dill is slow and pathetic, and I regret not having the fennel this year. Good thing to get the peas in the freezer!

What a change in a month's time from July 1st to August 1st, eh?<br /><br />Jenn - Oh, yes! No matter what we can ALWAYS count on Susan for a laugh. (Sweezie, we're laughing WITH you, not AT you!) Got another good soaking of rain again today. The garden won't be lacking moisture for a while now!<br /><br />wisps of words - Gak, so much of the country has been trapped in awful heat and humidity this summer. Got more rain today, but the temperature didn't come down as much as we expected. <br /><br />I have to kick myself in the tush every now and then as a reminder to enjoy each and every season as we're in it. So it's hot and humid. It's S-U-M-M-E-R! Soon we'll be watching the snow fall (beautiful!) and then having to go shovel it (good exercise!)<br /><br />Thank you, my bloggy friend, for always being so supportive!<br /><br />Lynne - I'm not remarkable at all. Just stubborn. ;o) Our fruits are not doing well this year. A real "off" year. Strawberry harvest was short and puny. Blueberries are coming in right now but we have very few berries on the bushes. And our apple trees . . . well, we've never seen so FEW apples on them. The only thing that did really well was the abundant haskap berries. Best crop ever from them. Gonna make the little buggers into WINE!<br />Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-53516664181271033312018-08-04T15:17:22.181-05:002018-08-04T15:17:22.181-05:00You are remarkable !

Do think you'll have a good year? Keep up the wonderful work!!

Snow is coming. <br /><br />Awww, I do hate to talk like that. Rather try (sometimes it's harder than others) to enjoy whatever weather is here, right now.<br /><br />It's really hard, to enjoy the torrential downpours, followed by heat/humidity, which is here now. Hard. But not impossible. I should just be grateful, that we have some a/c, to escape the outside.<br /><br />Sorry for some setbacks, or whatever made you grumpy. Good to grump, for a set amount of time. And then, get back to talking one's self, back 'up' again. :-)<br /><br />And you do, do, do accomplish so, so, so much! Never be upset, about something you didn't get "in" and "put away." You do such a great job!wisps of wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995057494013633705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-60886770789372125252018-08-04T07:23:57.233-05:002018-08-04T07:23:57.233-05:00Everything is looking lush and healthy.

Yeah that big girl panty thing when everyone is most certainly entitled to a nice pout now and again. I guess a talk with Susan is in order.
