This was a funny sort of summer.  A respectable number of pretty days.  Some stretches of rain.  Some very cool days.  Not a lot of swimming.  We had a handful of 90 degree broilers but not enough to coax the window unit air conditioners out of the basement.  Although my dreams of nurturing a wonderful, lush little garden never came to be, we did enjoy a harvest.

Yep…we gathered about 20 cherry tomatoes from our two plants, and we got 2 green beans from the vine that our older son planted in Sunday School.  He is thrilled!

Fortunately, my in-laws have greener thumbs.  We were happy to share their zucchini, and this gorgeous sweet pepper.
