Changing Temperatures...39º

I mentioned yesterday that I like the cooler temperature at night but I wish it wouldn't get quite so carried away, trying to please me!..Our veggie garden was moving full speed ahead, peas blooming, beets perfect for greens and baby beets, carrots big enough to thin, cabbages heading out, dill ready to go to seed, garlic almost ready to dig, cucumbers have finally started climbing the fence and a few small tomatoes with lots of blooms, but the temps need to stay closer to the 50º mark at night, instead of moving closer to freezing!..A look at the forecast is for a warming trend next week, wonder if that will make me happy?

With a busy week coming up (Chief Joseph Days) our town gets really crazy...Four nights of rodeos, two parades, dances and a bajillion more people/cars/RV's crowding into our little town...Herb and I are going for an outing today...The huckleberries are calling us to a lower elevation, a campfire near the river, steaks sizzling on the grill, laughter and conversation with friends, the lull before the storm.

We are lucky to live just on the edge of town, on a dead end street...We hear the PA system announcing the parades and rodeos and the music and screams coming from the rodeo grounds, but we can choose to stay home in our own little world and a week from tomorrow, it will all be over for another year.

Yesterday I pulled volunteer dill plants, shared some with a friend and put some to dry for dill pickles and hope I can get cucumbers from Walla Walla in the near future...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

Lovely dill weed.
