Summer arrived with a vengeance here on our red dirt road. This week temperatures are around 100 and the sun is blazing!! We usually don't reach 100 until July and August so I'm hoping this isn't an usually hot and dry summer. Thank goodness for a water well that will keep the flowerbeds and garden watered.
Sewing time gives way to taking care of garden produce as my sweetheart has been MOST SUCCESSFUL with the garden this year. We moved to the country a little over two years ago so last year was the first year for the garden. Over the winter, sweetheart worked very hard on enriching the soil organically and this year we are enjoying the "fruits and veggies" of his labor!!! We've been eating onions for weeks and the tomatoes are beginning to ripen. We're getting mostly Romas and cherry tomatoes right now but the big tomato plants are loaded. We're eating sweet green peas and green beans. Peppers, squash and radishes have started coming in as well. I'm freezing what we can't eat quickly and looking forward to garden goodies all year long. My sweetheart is already planning how to enlarge the garden for next year.
Meanwhile, we're enjoying eating our own fresh veggies produced by my sweetheart's labor of love.We did have a fun outing a couple of weekends ago when we went to Pawnee for the Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show at the original Pawnee Bill's Ranch.
There will be several sewing projects and new quilt blocks to show soon.
Keep cool and happy stitching!!!

your vegetables look so tasty! enjoy!
What a great post! I have been telling people that something going through my mind while back in Oklahoma is that it is where "the living is easy." Happy to see you have the same opinion. Hmmmmm, summertime! And don't 'cha just love the dusty smell of harvest?
Some of this post really takes me back to my Oklahoma days in the 60's -- red dirt, 100 degrees in summer, and wild west shows. Looking forward to your new projects!
