A garden is a friend you can frequently visit.

We got almost a half inch of rain last night & we were at the point of needing it.

The Celebrities are coming in hot & heavy. This year, they are HUGE! Never have they been this big - almost softball size, just unbelievable. My brother visited yesterday & took some home - his tomatoes aren’t ripe yet. I walked 8 of the largest & prettiest over to the neighbor - he has 2 scrawny plants with 2 or 3 small tomatoes, just starting to turn, so he was glad to have large ripe ones.

Thursday will be spaghetti squash harvest day - I must have 20! My brother only likes butternut or I would have loaded him up with squash too. The plan is to give a few away & bake, then freeze the rest. My vacuum sealer is now readily accessible & I found 2 rolls of vacuum storage bag material, so that’s all good.

Walked the Collie in the back pasture at 1:00 this afternoon - there were deer running everywhere (a herd of 5) & she didn’t know who to chase- as soon as she would start after one, another would bolt across her field of vision. She finally just stood there and barked LOL!
