It's beginning to look like the end of summer. last night the 98degree day was interrupted by a heavy downpour of rain and a quick switch to cool weather. I actually slept with my windows open for the first time in many months.
The wane of summer also is visible in the garden- finally the vegetables that take so long time to mature: winter squash, pumpkins, eggplant and my very favorite--TOMATOES. Dare I say my feathered girls like tomatoes too. I guess it's a fair exchange since I am getting 2 eggs a day now.
Also the sunflowers are towering over 9 feet in the air and are in full bloom. I get more and more zinnias and beautiful morning glories. I pulled up a few summer squash plants an harvested the blossoms. They will be stuffed with goat cheese by the end of the day.
This is going to be a gorgeous Saturday!
I hope yours is wonderful too
