Foto Friday 8 ~ The Heat is On

 

The sun lately is no joke sizzling.  I'm already exhausted from the heat and humidity and it is barely July yet.  After being in the house for three weeks with bronchitis, I did not even want to venture outdoors, but groceries had to be bought and it had to be done.  
Today I am thankful for the cool air and  rain that came and went, and vegetables fresh from the garden.  Our tomatoes have finally started filling out, but blossom end rot almost got them for sure.  Now the cut worms have arrived, and what in the heck causes this??:

Sometimes you just have to laugh when your efforts are stymied at every turn.  Too much water, not enough water, not enough calcium and now whatever this is.  Surely one of y'all are super gardeners and can tell me what in the world this is caused by.  Of course we are going to eat them anyways  :)

Water 2.0

 

Yesterday's hail storm; more coming today. 

The sky turned almost black and Mother Nature was having a major temper tantrum.

I bragged a little too much about my Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter cactus. 

Then:

Now:

I had to google what the heck I did to it, and of course it's all my fault. 

Over-watering.  PSHAWWW.    Now what?  I hope it can be saved. 

First batch of refrigerator pickles- done!  

Thankful that our container garden veggies survived yesterday's storm. 

Speaking of thankful, I had a very nice, long talk with my niece last night.  It was so good to hear her voice, and the conversation left me with a warm heart hug.  It's been entirely too long since I have talked to her,  We usually text.  Texting has really messed up communication with friends and loved ones, don't you think?  

I hope the weather is sweeter where you are.  Have a great hump day!
