Break

So it's been a while since I did this. I believe a quick review of the past few weeks is due. We have been dealing with evil little monsters AKA blister beetles. They have stripped multiple plants of their foliage and have been a pain in the tuchus.

There has been an overwhelming amount of tomatoes, drought like conditions and extraordinary heat. (Shelves now line this wall to hold said tomatoes)

We took a 24 hour sabbatical to Mountain View to relieve some stress and spent 4th of July holiday with the people we love despite not having any fireworks. 

I have also been practicing brining pickles. The first batch was a failure but the second attempt is looking promising. In recent days Mother Nature has given us a break with decent temperatures and minimal pop up showers, the blister beetles are still making their presence known, and I am looking forward to our next disappearance from reality.
