After a busy crazy good last week, we are back at home, with no where to go except out back. And oh it feels good. Good because it makes me crazy if we can't get out there for a few days to see how the fruit and vegetables are doing. Things grow over night. Mysterious little bugs move in when your not looking. Little underground creatures come up from the depths of the earth and eat the roots of your full grown plant. Even if these things are out of our control, it still helps to know that they are happening, rather than wandering out there asking yourself, "Now when did that happen?"

So we have our hands and mouths full and its time to roast, bag and freeze the peppers. Make up some pesto for winter. Shuck and freeze corn. Freeze the peaches for smoothies. And make salsa ..... for breakfast.

Can you see the mower just under the trees in the orchard? Do you notice the puffs of dust rising from the ground? What would summer be without dust covering my furniture?
