It’s been several years since it has been so hot and humid for such a long stretch. It seems like it could be a hurricane magnet.

I may have mentioned this previously, summer is my least favorite season. It’s too darned hot!

I love rain. Tuesday was a personal favorite. We worked outside. I cannot say enough about proper rain gear.

Every year at this time I am filled with regrets. Why didn’t I plant the winter squashes sooner? Why did I let so many peas go unpicked?

I had been growing food on a small plot in the corner of the farm for a couple of summers when my Aunt Marie told me she was ready to call it quits.

Since moving to the Vineyard in 1970, I have never understood that classic from Porgy and Bess, “Summertime and the living is easy.”
