Wow can you believe this weather?! Hard to believe it's the end of August when the temperature is 62 degrees outside this morning! Needless to say our garden is not doing as good as it should be. The okra is only about 3 foot high and normally this time of year it is over 6 foot tall. The eggplant and peppers are not growing very tall either, but they are setting fruit pretty well. The deer are keeping the cucumbers and green beans trimmed down. Greg has sprayed hot pepper repellent on things and that has slowed them down some, but the rain washes it off and then he has to re spray and that stuff is not cheap! I guess this winter we will have to work on a deer fence around the entire property! UGH!!!! Tomorrows boxes are getting more of the same. This week there will be eggplant and potatoes and maybe not okra. There will be plenty of heirloom tomatoes and some summer squash. Not sure about peaches as we are in between trees ripening, but maybe some more apples. We will look at those this evening when Greg gets home and see what there is. Then of course there's always onions and eggs! Add a little cheese & salsa and you've got the makings for a great omelet!

We got our daughter off to college yesterday, so all the kids are now gone! Now to get their rooms all cleaned and straightened up! I will miss my daughter as her job was everything pertaining to the house; laundry, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom, burning trash, recycle, cooking, doing dishes, running errands, grocery shopping, cleaning the cat litter boxes, etc.!!!!! Well guess I'd better get off here and get some laundry done! YUCK!!!
