Our garden looks great, by the way. We stopped there on the way home from Nova Scotia to check things out and all seemed to be going well. The weeds were pretty high, but after a solid morning of garden work on Saturday, hoeing and staking tomatoes for all we were worth, we’re a good chunk of the way back to order in the garden. We also picked our first broccoli and our first batch of peas, which we shelled while watching a nature video this afternoon, and we had fresh peas with tarragon for dinner tonight.
In other news, I’m hatching plans with Mom for our trip to Mississippi. I’m jumping-up-and-down excited about this trip, despite my desire to spend some time at home after all of our recent travel. I’m flying to St. Louis on Thursday, where Mom will pick me up and we’ll continue the drive to Oxford, Mississippi, home of Ole Miss and Faulkner. Now, the only question is, can we survive Mississippi heat for a whole week without melting into a puddle?
