As the summer is winding down, I am unhappy to report that I haven't had time to read one book this summer.  But I have been gardening.  I sure love the gardening this summer.  I could spend all day outside in my garden if I didn't have other things to do or get too hot and tired.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my garden this year.  It is now harvest time and we have quite a few things coming on.  We have picked our peaches and pears, I have done 12 quarts of tomatoes, and we eat zucchini or cukes at every meal.  Green beans are coming on so I will have some of those soon too.  Potatoes look promising, but we won't know until we dig them up in October.  There are about 6 banana squashes and peppers galore.  I am waiting for the peppers to turn red so I can roast them and bottle them.  Apples look plentiful too.  What a great summer it has been!
