We're heading into the weekend!

This entire week feels like something out of a dream. The weather has been…perfect. The humidity all but vanished, it was warm without being oppressive. We got a bit of rain here and there. My garden and I have been happy campers. 

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. 

Before we get blasted with more summer heat and humidity, I am going to enjoy every second of this glorious weather. I am doing what my mother did when I was a kid. I am kicking myself out of the house every day. I can only come back indoors to use the bathroom and when it’s dinner time. 

I have a bike ride or two planned this weekend and so much puttering in the garden that I might putter myself right out. Whatever that means. 

For quite a few of us, we’re heading into the part of the summer that will bring more substantial veg from our gardens. Zucchini, summer squash, beans, eggplants, beets, carrots. All of these will be coming online in the next few weeks. 

And dare I say it? Tomatoes. 

I’m already dreaming of the sandwich I will make with the first big, slicing tomato I pick this year. Who out there is going to be picking their first ripe tomato soon, or has already picked their first tomato?
