Summer Days

Summer can be such a nice time of year.

Over the weekend my husband and a friend from church fixed our air conditioning, which is always helpful in improving our outlook on life. Today we sent four of our five girls off to church camp for four days. Therefore, as you might imagine, it has been a cool and relatively quiet day.

We (the daughter still at home and I) planted an herb garden and harvested some of our vegetables that are already producing and shared them with friends. So far we have picked lemon cucumbers and yellow crookneck squash. The tomatillos and peppers are coming along nicely as well. As soon as our tomatoes catch up, it’ll be time for salsa.

I love the convenience of having a garden. I try to plan our meals around what we are growing. Today I came across a very interesting article on obtaining extremely low cost seeds for a garden. Here’s the link. I hope you enjoy it as well.
