This is my favorite time of year. The sun is shining; the temperature is warm and sometimes hot; and the garden is producing all kinds of delicious fruits and vegetables. Lawn chair, tall glass of iced sun tea, and ME! Sounds perfect!
This morning after my walk, I picked about a quart of beautiful ripe strawberries. The smell was heavenly and the taste was scrumptious! The bush beans are ready to pick and eat; tomatoes are starting to ripen; cucumbers will be lucky to make it from the garden to the house for a salad; and the zucchini are just the right size--better get them before tomorrow as you know what happens to zucchini overnight!!! Apricots have about a week to go to be ripe and juicy.
The flowers in the yard are beautiful--English lavender, dahlias, cosmos, four o'clocks, roses, sweet Williams, lilies and many flowers given to us by friends and family that I can't identify but they are pretty nonetheless. The bamboo was looking pretty shaggy a month ago but has sent up many new shoots and leafed out with new green leaves.
Enjoy all that summer has to offer. Kat
On my way over, Kat! You're making me hungry!
