After days and days of over 30 mph gusting hot, dry winds, the weather has decided to give us a break with a very cool day in the low 60's with rain.  It is almost chilly inside, but my gardener/sister-in-law is giving my flower garden a good once over in this much nicer working outside weather. I should go out to look, but I am resting.

We've had a couple of hail storms so our tomatoes are coming on slowly. I must have planted the lettuce in a high wind because the only seed that came up was in the sidewalk.  I am assuming the swiss chard and turnips are growing, but they won't be much good because it has been so hot.  I haven't been seeing much of this summer, but June is acting like full summer already with humidity and high winds.  It is comfortable indoors.  We are eating snap peas now.  I like them fresh and cooked.  Gardening is not going to be a high priority this year with my cancer diagnosis. My flower gardens were all weeded before I went to surgery, so they are going to need some care, hopefully they won't get clear out of hand with no one to work in them.

Today is Flag Day.  My grandparents were married this day.
