August? Where Does Summer Go?

Seems like everyone was complaining about how cold it was and then the heat sweltered all of us! It left me waving that fan and not really wanting to do much outside. But my garden seems to have loved the heat and now it is the deluge of zuchini for each and everyone of us.…… Continue reading August? Where Does Summer Go?
