Summer is here, and the cicadas' song is about the only thing that hasn't ground to a halt these days, this blog very much included! Well, that's not exactly true. Our garden is blossoming (literally!) in the sweltering summer heat we're experiencing. Since this photo was taken, a week ago, we've already had our first tomatoes show up on the vines. Yeah, we planted late, but the plants sure haven't noticed! They're chugging along, as you can see from our garden photo page.
