Homemade Ice cubes
Blackberries are still going. What I can catch before the birds and chipmunks get them.My tomatoes are finally starting to turn.Russian sage is happy....And so are my zinnias but that is about it..I have had to cut back a whole row of hosta. A lot of my garden is heat stressed, the poor birches have changed color and are dropping its leaves Friday we pretended we were tourists and headed down to the local restaurant on the lake. It was a lovely evening.We have been teaching ourselves diminos which was a nice change from cards.Tonight my neighbor treated me to a play "Menopause" at a local theater What fun it was! Our ice maker broke so we were buying a bag of ice now and then. I thought that was crazy so I have all I need to make my own lol, saving pennies every day. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Have a great week!

I haven't had a working ice maker since we moved here at the lake house-the freezer i so full no room for ice cube trays though-sigh I do miss ice during these extreme hot days my marigold and zinnia seeds never made it with the extreme heat all summer-I really like those too as they bring in lots of pollinators. Happy new week
Ha ha...homemade ice cubes. That's funny...but then I started wondering how many people these days would remember the old way of doing them (with the aluminum trays with the lever....) Plants are doing so well here either. I think, though, it's due to my own neglect/lack of interest. Adding to that, I found out that the drip irrigation system I thought we had in some of the beds wasn't working...for a long, long, time. It's one thing to not get rain/have water - like not having phone service a few months back - but a completely different matter to THINK you have a working irrigation system/phone and not. It wasn't an issue when we had all the rain, but then the rain stopped. :-(
Oh those tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅 look so yummy!
Many many years ago I saw Menopause the Musical. It was delightful. I still remember these lyrics…my personal summer is really a bummer. I’’m having a hot flash.
My tomatoes are getting ripe too - picked 2 of them and a bunch of cherry tomatoes tonight.
Sad about your hosta. Ours aren't looking the best eather.
Hooray for homemade ice cubes! :)
