Imnaha/Blackberries/Tomatoes...54º

Our smoky drive to Imnaha yesterday was uneventful...The Magic Garden is slow this year, maybe due to the weather, as it is hot one day, only to turn cool the next...We did some weeding, visiting and picked cucumbers before turning to the blackberry bushes and then sat on Janies porch to eat lunch...Back home I turned the cukes into pickles, the berries into one of my favorite pies, before heating leftover stuffed peppers for our dinner.

Later I sorted ripening tomatoes for an early start on roasting this morning...Smoke still surrounds us and we get brief sightings of our beautiful mountains through the lingering haze...Herb continues to hang our laundry outside to dry and our noses have gotten used to the ever present smell of smoke that permeates everything...The weather remains hot and dry, with a slight chance of thunder showers and maybe a sprinkle later in the week...The end of August is near, everyone is hoping for a rainy September...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
