Summer Slowdown


With the summer heat comes drought. The ground--lovely Ohio clay--is too hard for planting lately. So, it's time for sitting in the shade appreciating what is in bloom. Or enjoying the cool of the evening watching the fireflies.

Oh, and watering, watering, watering! This includes the bird bath, which the birds seem to empty as quickly as I can fill it.

I did get the swing stand painted dark green. Much better! Now it kind of blends into the view. The herbs and veggies hanging from it are doing well. I've been eating fresh lettuce already, and the tomatoes and peppers have little green fruits.
