Late summer when it's too hot for anything else is my favorite time to read. I have a lounge chair in the woods, but lately it's been too hot in the woods! We had record highs last week, thank goodness we were gone north for a vacation. This year we have the worst garden ever. Didn't plant as much as usual, too much rain early on and now hot and dry. Yesterday my son's girlfriend brought tomatoes. Daughter-in-law joined us when she got off work and we canned 25 pints of salsa and spaghetti sauce. Then they fixed spaghetti, salad and garlic toast for dinner. My kitchen was a disaster, but we had such a good time together.
I hate to admit it, but I haven't been in a library for years. That was one of my favorite things to do in the summer when I was a kid. It was just Mom and I at home and she worked long hours, so I spent my days at the library. Now I just borrow books or buy them at yard sales. I'm cheap.
I do want to try the leaf castings again. Tried earlier this summer and my mix wasn't right..........they crumbled. :'(
Just waiting for cooler days. Actually, the last couple days haven't been too bad out. I've been cutting back some perennials.
