I actually took off some of mine that I thought were going off as I knew I would be away from them for a while! I love seeing your produce - my son gave me a tour of his small patch ! Love the quotes - I am all for RAKs - helped out a young man last week who was trying to use his phone to pay for some petrol (it was only a small amount for his bike) and it wouldn't work - the guy at the counter was getting quite angry - I felt rather embarrassed though as the young man was so grateful - kept telling me I could come to his work place to collect it - I told him just to pass the kindness on! Belated Happy T day!

Storms coming in tonight and I just saw two 59 degree nights after the front pushes through... fingers crossed! Your garden bounty looks awesome. Most of our garden just burned up with the heat and the Fox Squirrels got the tomatoes! Blackberry cobbler... oh yeah!

It's been hot everywhere, it seems. Your garden looks great in spite of the scorching heat.<br /><br />I love blackberries and tomatoes, and my mouth is watering at the sight of yours.

It's a good idea to stay indoors and your knitting is amazing with those beautiful colours and pattern. The comments on the Denny's mugs made me smile and your garden fruit and veggies are amazing. Your blackcurrant syrup on ice cream sounds delicious, I always make blackcurrant jelly with mine as my hubby loves it with peanut butter on toast 😁. I smiled at the negative committee thought for today - perfect! Wishing you a very Happy T Day!

It's been so hot here, too that I was getting worried about having heat exhaustion. Not sure if I was more worried about the internet or my AC.<br /><br />The weather is what most of us are talking about here in the midwest. I saw a news crew earlier this afternoon who went into the stands at a baseball game with their meters. The seats were 146 F and the concrete in the shade was 129 F. The game was still played, though.<br /><br />Your knitting is great. I certainly don't see any mistakes. It's looking good, albeit HOT!<br /><br />You are harvesting a bounty of food. I've had NO tomatoes yet. There are no bees to pollinate the flowers, so I attribute it partly to that. My blackberries are nearly dead. What the birds don't get, just shrivel and die on the vines. I'm thinking of cutting mine back FAR this autumn. You are doing something right, because you are harvesting some wonderful fruit and veggies. I'm in awe and envious.<br /><br />The first time I went to Denny's was on my birthday. They give a free birthday breakfast if you show proper ID. Thanks for sharing your coffee at Denny's, your incredible harvest, and your knitting with us for T this Tuesday. <br /><br />BTW, I found your e-mail on your profile page, so didn't even have to ask for it.
