Bunkie, It all looks so good. If you have extra garlic, please send me a few. Where are all the cats? Here's Otis. He liked to make hay when the sun shined. Holly Attachments:

I have cat envy. I'm un-catted this year, for the first time in 30-some years; not good, not at all.

first zucchini of the year...  more summer squash...  first cukes...the bushes are loaded with them now...  even tho they're mighty ugly. radishes in August are mighty tasty! check out the radish on the far right...it is making two radish bulbs on its root!!!...  this morning we had another moose sighting. it was running down our road very fast. sammy spots a moose running down our road...  the moose is a little to the left of center here...  sammy (center) gets pete (bottom right) and tells him to 'run for the hills!'... i53.tinypic.com/2rdxo8z.jpg |

Both the moose you've photo'ed have been left of center; that's hopeful.

Bunkie, my 20 year old gave me the same look this morning that Pete was giving from the wheelbarrow. Your garden looks great. Nanook and M'ma Tutsi doing ying/yang after a busy morning bringing voles into the house. Attachments:

Hey Bunkie, did you send those UFO's here? Those canned peaches look worthy of the fair. I never have enough peaches to can. Well, I better get out to those strawberries, or there won't be any jam! Attachments:

the toms are finally coming on like gangbusters...  more toms...hey, who put that rotten one in the pics???!...  we tried a few new varieties this year with great success, like these chocolate striped tomatoes...(and the Italian Heirloom, Marmande, etc...pictured above...)...  and the rosso sicilian tomatoes...  peaches, the yellow jackets even left a half of one, an apple and the start of our perennial wheat harvest...  the peppers are coming on strong now...  jars of fresh picked tomatoes and cherries just out of the canner...  and with the late summer and the extreme temps we've been experiencing, baking bread in our solar oven is heaven...  after a buzy day and a swim in the swimming hole, a dirty sammy tucks up to pete for a little nap...  |

Wow, You've been a busy woman. Bunkie, my sister lives in Sunnyside, some day, when we can get that way, we'd love to see your farm.
You do great work. Holly
