    remember to play

    As summer is winding down, schedules start to fill. Meetings, homework, activities and appointments take up all the free time we’ve been accustomed to for the past 3 months.

    T stands for Tomatoes!

    Today's harvestThanks for joining me today for T stands for Tuesday…or in this case…TOMATOES!

    As much as I hate the heat and humidity that always seems to come with the end of August, I love the tomatoes that my garden is producing. I’m also still getting a good handful of green beans each day. The cucumbers have yellow pear tomatoesbeen a bit of a disappointment but at least they did something.

    And just look at all these yellow pear tomatoes!! They are so sweet and yummy. They sit like candy on the counter waiting to be nibbled in this lovely basket that I won from a fellow blogger a couple years back.

    I’m watering them from our rain barrels twice a day in this heat. I’m afraid I’m going to reach the proverbial “bottom of the barrel” very soon if we don’t get any rain.

    Our family is planning to brave the heat one of the days this week for a visit to the state fair. We may melt in the heat.  Hopefully I’ll get some fun pictures to share of “The Great Minnesota Get-Together”

    What are you doing today?

    The rhythm of nature

    With the hot and humid yuck of August fully upon us, I was feeling the need for something I little more Spring-like.

    This journal is nearly full. If I can get 3 more entries to fit, I’ll be really surprised. Good thing I have another going and yet another book waiting in the wings.
