So much has been happening, such as the ripening of tomatoes (see above) and the making of pickles (will write about that soon) and the reading of books (more on that too.) We haven’t been having the hottest of summers… and there’s been more rain than I remember from years past. On the up side, that’s meant less watering in the garden. But with less than a month left of the season, it still feels like it hasn’t been enough summer. In a week we’ll be visiting Cape May at the Jersey shore–here’s hoping it will be sunny and dry then.
