This is a photo of my vegetable garden at the beginning of the summer. Sadly, things have not progressed as I would have liked. Constant, unprecedented levels of rain (5 inches in one day!!!) here in Western Maine have swamped it. The tomatoes are rotting on the vine. The sugar snaps yeilded about 2 handfuls, and the basil plants are still too tiny to make churn into one decent batch of pesto. The weeds, of course, are thriving. At this point I am just hoping that next year's harvest will be a little better.
But there are other bright spots to focus on. Our annual town celebration happened yesterday with no rain. Sam won 'best of show' for under 10s with his rope photo, took 1st place in the mile race (a little over 10 minutes) and can not stop admiring his ribbons. And Hank is proud and satisfied too. He caught a lot of candy during the parade.
