It brings the garden to life. Nasturtiums tumble over themselves in spontaneous flaming festoons…
a palette of warm colors
glorying in morning sun….
This variation, a peachy cream, was a surprise!
Potatoes rush to bloom…
And the zucchini is outgrowing our ability to consume it! No sooner does one become a delicious meal of ‘Zucchini Wonder’, then another two are ready the next morning…We’ve got a backlog already and they’ve only just begun! (If you live in the vicinity, don’t hesitate to come by and pick up a zucchini for dinner!)
[And if you don’t live nearby, please share a recipe!!!]
All because of blessed heat! Oh, I love it, when I can shed wool socks and sweaters and leave doors and windows wide, and dare to dip in water!
These gi-normous bullfrog tadpoles love it too! And they know where to find the warmest water. So naturally, we had a swim together yesterday in a sheltered cove on Powell Lake.
My sympathies to those of you who must endure searing steering wheels and cannot relate to heat being a blessed thing. I was there once… But for this season of life, I just can’t get enough of summer’s blessed heat and all the good things it brings!
