On other fronts, the heat and humidity continue, the late summer business of nurturing our veggie patch through the swelter and into a vigorous harvest. Domestic alchemy is at work, the fine time honored activity of transforming the mundane into the magical, the tasty and the sumptuous. There are vegetables to be blanched and tucked into the freezer, jams and chutneys and pickles to be made for the larder, fruit to be sliced and artfully arranged in the dehydrator, loaves of bread to be pummeled and set to rise, mincemeat to batch up for fruitcakes... a busy time and a happy one too.

A Beauty....
Wonderful roses.
Great putterings for the hearth.
What a lovely gift--happy harvesting!
exquisite roses. our summer has been so cool that our roses have not flourished at all. :( finally we are having warm weather for 4-5 days...hardly enough time to produce tomatoes and squash but perhaps we will get a few more open rosebuds!
What a gorgeous rose! I can almost smell her perfume! I find your blog posts to be so calm and soothing for my soul. Your talent with words is amazing, and your words transport to a beautiful place.
