"Il faut cultiver notre jardin," the philosopher wrote, and you seem to be following his advice literally and figuratively. <br /><br />I love these posts, Ken.Bob Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-24828581819650208462009-08-10T20:56:05.474+02:002009-08-10T20:56:05.474+02:00Kendall, I don't really envy you those Souther...Kendall, I don't really envy you those Southern summers. It's hot enough here, and the temperature has rarely if ever been above 90 yet this summer.<br /><br />Jean, you are right about traffic. I'll take this life, thank you.<br /><br />Dedene, it will be interesting to see how big the round white eggplants get to be. How do we decide when to pick them, I wonder.<br /><br />Melinda, don't you have horseflies or mosquitoes up there in the mountains? Do your neighbors have their binoculars out?<br /><br />Evelyn, we do make BLTs. We've had them twice already. We can get thinly sliced <i>poitrine fumée</i> at the supermarket or chez Mme Doudouille, and that cooks up like bacon.<br /><br />Judy, don't even mention the wallpaper unsticking job. We've decided we have enough to do with the garden, processing the produce, sawing the firewood, and trimming the hedge. The wallpaper is looking prettier and prettier.<br /><br />Cheryl, too many potatoes, LOL! Good for French fries to go with the BLTs.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-49322557647394763492009-08-10T18:13:34.726+02:002009-08-10T18:13:34.726+02:00Beautiful photos, as always.

I seem to recall one of you blogging about that. Will that be this winter, or am I totally making this up in my head?<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-11343850334513486512009-08-10T15:23:18.812+02:002009-08-10T15:23:18.812+02:00My favorite photo today is the one with the ripe t...My favorite photo today is the one with the ripe tomatoes on the vine- I bet they will be perfectly wonderful.

You know what Southern summers are like, I had to change clothes twice because I was dripping with sweat, and this was before it even hit noon. I'm glad your having some quiet days, enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
