I am drafting this post on August 2nd and just looking at these mid-June photos shocks me. Now my garden is resplendant and verdant and full. I am busy each day, eating, freezing, drying, preparing the foods from this small slice of heaven. And as I write this post, I am sitting on my bed after a wonderful day taking care of chickens, visiting the Fairgrounds, shopping for garden gloves, and watching casual Jackie watch me as he grooms himself and Zelia snores. Namaste.
