Whoops! Yesterday morning I overslept. First time in years. Not sure if it was the extreme heat we had or what, but I felt terrible that I did. I am always up making coffee, feeding the cats, packing my husband's breakfast and lunch. There has been a lot on our minds though.
The ladies cooled off the best they could with chipped ice. I left the coop open when we finally got a down pour, so they could get wet and cool their hot feathery bodies off.
Although I will now be behind in weeding, I am so happy for the rain. The funny thing is, is that we both said if it's a rotten year we'd not plant a garden next year. In fear of a rotten year (3 years in a row), we really cut back on what we planted too. Now I regret not planting my popcorn, peas, spaghetti squash etc. Well, I'll be over those regrets, as soon as I visit Farmer's markets and re-stock.
I finally got rhubarb vodka in the making. We like this better than strawberry, but both are good.I finally found organic broccoli and asparagus! I blanched both and got them in the freezer.
More photos of my snapdragons. My lens kept steaming up, it was that humid.
