And What a Lovely Summer it has Been.

For the first time in years, we have had a summer...... there have been few complaints of the heat for the fear of the ghost of cool summers past coming back to haunt us, but it has been hot - hot and sticky and wonderful. Being as this is my first year attempting a vegetable garden, the weather couldn't have been more accommodating, the soil has been warm and moist and the sun has nourished my plants to their full potential. The freezer has a selection of veg that will be well received in the winter months and only the corn, tomatoes and squash are left to grow, even the last couple of mornings have that hint of fall in their presence, and I don't mind at all.
The combine arrived this morning, after a short lived attempt at working the field the rain got the better of them and work has come to a screeching halt. Such is farming.
