Rattle
The heat abates, although certainly not entirely gone. Cooler mornings, sun glares but lacks the punch of just a few weeks ago.
The community gardens having a tomato tasting tomorrow, sounds rather good. We will rehang the garage cable and curtains in the morning, replant the lemon balm mint to the front, then go eat other people's tomatoes. The cayenne is going nuts.
I got out two small, but respectable beets. Burned them trying to cook them. Very sad, and smelled awful. Now it's just the chard and tomato plants that will likely not produce any more fruits. The pepperoncini has a half dozen more to ripen.
Very odd to not have a fridge. Keeping the perishables in the cooler with dry ice. Cooked the package of bacon up today, the resulting sandwiches in previously frozen hot dog buns and cheese were ... disappointing. D got a small amount of milk chilled, so he's managing. We got a good dinner, and that helps a great deal. Rather uncomfortable, we are not eating well.
Broke a glass today, feeling rather windy, edgy, wary. Waiting for further shoes to drop.
We sat on the porch, watching people passing by. I did a crossword and we muttered amiably to each other. An odd mix of comfort and rattlement.

our weather is changing too, looking like there is more rain in the forecast, and the night time temp is dropping. Still warm during the day, so far.
Had our company's fiscal end of year party tonight, it was fun. I bowled (116,131), but did not get the high score of the night (160) which would have earned me a Future Shop gift card of 250$.
Oh well.
Too bad about the broken glass. Fortunately, these are usually not too difficult to replace.
My green peppers just won't grow this year. But I did finally locate a chair!
Phil,
The year turns. The glass came from some cream product sold in Boston, never seen it here - which is fine because I didn't like it - but the little glass it came in I can't exactly replace either.
Rou,
It's not been a good year, which gives me comfort that I made my worst mistakes in a year when everyone had gardening trouble. Huzzah on the chair.
