had to go into the hospital for some surgery - 'nuf' said here about that as don't want to go into TMI.
But, I'm back home and although going very slowly about, am getting a few things done and thought I'd update the blog.
It's been quite sunny & hot here lately, although the evenings are cool - a sure sign of autumn here out on the Palouse - so the garden is slow in maturing its crops. We're nearly ready to pick some corn and there are still beans coming on so we're going to have a really good harvest of them. The apples are maturing and although there will be a fair crop I don't think they will be very large. However, as I keep saying "some is better than none!". The berries continue to trickle in, so there's going to be some 'mixed berry' jam coming up, too. I'm afraid the cucumbers just won't have time to set any fruits, but there will be tomatoes and peppers, as well as onions (they, too, are smaller than last year), garlic, potatoes, cabbages, cauliflowers, broccoli, beets & carrots coming soon.
I've worked a tiny bit on the Estelle sweater and the Sock Summit Class toe-up socks. I've had to do a lot of resting & will continue to need to do so for a bit, so there will be slow progress on all projects for now.
More pictures to come soon. I've been trying to get photos of my progress, both on projects and on additions to my stash. I seem to go in 'fits & starts' at the photography thing, LOL.

Sorry to hear you had to make a "pit stop." Hope you're soon feeling "right as rain."
In July I find myself thinking that summer will just go on forever. "Oh, this is great," I think to myself. "The zucchini will still be bearing in October." But then the nights grow cool and the days are suddenly noticeably short. The plants get the message.
I have been in town since Tuesday, so I'm afraid when we get back to the farm we will find our produce plants burnt to a crisp. We'll do better next year!
TY Kathy, I hope your veggies are OK. We are having something from our garden each day - I love summer produce!
