Summer’s unofficially over and I’m back!
Wow – that was a very unanticipated, but probably extremely predictable, break from work. I should have realized that the month of August would get out of hand with my oldest son going off to college for the first time. We drove about 2,000 miles in four days taking him and all of his belongings out to Indiana. Sorting school supplies and getting my younger son for his first day of school today seemed like a breeze in comparison, but it was very strange and a little sad not to be doing the chores for two people!
My community garden is still thriving, requiring care and nurturing my love of the lush, green summer life. Currents harvests include three types of heirloom carrots, zucchini, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, french green beans, several herbs and red raspberries. The idea for my new piece also came from the garden, and happily I was able to start on it today! Hopefully I will have some good progress this week and be able to post a working photograph of it next week. Meanwhile, I’m posting two photographs of flowers from my garden. Enjoy these precious warm summer days!
