Thank you for checking in. It has been a long hot summer in the Northeast. We had many days with temperature in the 90's. We have severe drought conditions and watering bans. The grass is definitely not green. However, things are looking up. We had a soaking rain twice this week and the vegetables are growing again. We lost the last of the cucumbers and the eggplant, but the zucchini and the tomatoes are growing nicely. We have one huge pumpkin, and a number of smaller ones. All in all, I thought we did quite well under the circumstances. I promised pictures for Mary Ellen Grace, so here are some new pictures for Mary Ellen and for all of you.
