We need rain.  We haven’t had any for weeks.  The heat is making my garden produce like crazy.  However, it wouldn’t be doing that if I didn’t water every day.

     So far, I’ve harvested nine banana peppers, five Hungarian sweets, a large patty pan squash, and one lovely cucumber that I shared with G.  I’m keeping my eye on two sugar baby watermelons that are growing rapidly.  I’m also hoping that two won’t be all I get from the vines.

     We finally have a couple of tiny cantaloupes going and the tomato plants are loaded with green tomatoes.  The tomato plants in the back garden are taller than I am.

     I have two very AC spoiled dogs.  They only want to go out when they absolutely have to go.  I can’t say that I blame them this heat has been miserable.  DH, the dogs, and I have stayed indoors as much as possible.  I hate this because I normally spend my summer outside as much as possible.

     When they coined the saying, “the South shall rise again,” I don’t think this is what they meant.  This heat can go back down south where it came from.
