Okay, I think I’m overdue for a post. The last month (and the whole summer, really) has been jam-packed with riding, physical therapy, more riding and more PT, swimming classes, school, home repairs, and working overtime. I’m pretty much exhausted all the time, and will be glad when this month is done, work lets up a little, and I can get caught up on sleep.
In the garden, peach season has just ended, and I managed to get all three (!) peaches from my baby peach tree before Jasper or the squirrels harvested them. I’m picking basil, beans, zucchini, and pattypan squash every other day. It’s also grape season; the little grape vine that barely grew for its first two years has now taken over the side fence and is dripping with sweet/tart chardonnay grapes. Now I’m thinking I should plant more along the back fence, and maybe that will give me enough to make a few bottles of wine.
