Hope
It rained hard last night. Finally. We had gone months without a significant downpour so it sure felt good to wake up to the smell of damp earth. The plants and shrubs in my yard were especially pleased. My garden is pretty much done for the summer except for a hardy watermelon vine and the cucumber vines you see pictured above. As if in gratitude to the rain, the flowers appeared this morning. Could cucumbers be on the way? I sure hope so. I want to learn how to make pickles.

Dude, there is nothing better than a cucumber sandwich with fresh cucumber. Thayer got a few yellow squash out of her carefully watched garden and we cut them up, cooked them with onions in a frying pan, added tomatoes, basil, and a little brown sugar and ate like queens.
