What a hot, dry summer it has been here in New England and around the country. I was away for a few weeks of it. There have been high temperatures and little rain. We can't water everything so it has been sad to see some of our trees and plants die or become stressed with burned leaf tips. The grass is parched, and plants that thrived this time last year in an end of summer burst (daisies) are barely making it. We have watered the vegetable garden. It is doing well, producing cherry tomatoes by the ton, peppers, cucumbers, and zinnias among other things. So there is hope. And we did get rain last night. Not a hurricane but a little rain. Everything perked up a bit after that shower.

Ah, water.
The mis-priced resource.
But what about your sprinkler system...?
Oh, that's right. No backup plan for you guys in the East w/ plentiful water sources.
Or not?
Yes, the mis-priced resource.
Looking forward to Fall....I can't remember..
More water, better foliage?
Less water, brighter colors..?
Can't remember all that lore...
Looking forward to the next blog.
that place is a jungle!! dry weather or not, it looks like you guys are doing a pretty fantastic job keeping that garden watered. it was dirt plots when i last saw it... i'm amazed!
I love this series of photos, particularly the first one with the bowl. Look at those leaves all curled up tight!
