Found you! The summer has nearly gotten away from us. This morning I picked green beans again. I already have enough in the freezer to last all winter and until next bean picking season, but I can't let them go to waste. Our grape harvest yielded a nice bucket full of small, reddish blue grapes that are very sweet and seedless. I will be making juice of them this afternoon. A few tomatoes have finally ripened. My garlic and onions have been dug and pulled, hung to dry in bundles, had tops cut off, were cleaned, boxed for selling and some of it sold already. I'm still waiting for the corn to mature. One pear tree (of 2) is loaded with fruit this year, and so is my (I think it is Stanley) plum which has fruit that looks like the old Italian prune. I have a hot fence around them to keep the deer out. The apple has not produced anything.... again.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
