I'm still here... I've been canning cucumbers and making sauce out of
the tomatoes. My herb garden is doing well, I'll be making pesto next.
The blackeyed Susans, verbena and impatiens seem to be doing the best
out in the flower garden. The weather has cooled down (to around 88
degrees) and it's been raining. It's unusual for August in North
Carolina.
