Summer Winding Down

Pumpkin, squash, and Elsie with a potato. Click on the picture of the squash blossom to see the amazing bees at work up close

The sun is rising a little bit later every morning, it's getting dark a little bit earlier each evening, and the days don't seem so endlessly broiling. The evenings are still warm, and the mornings are cooler and cooler. The pumpkins are starting to get a little color, the sunflowers are blooming, the bees are in the squash, the onions are poking out above the soil, and the potatoes are getting ripe. We're still working hard and hoping for a great corn harvest, meeting new friends and dreaming new dreams but also savoring these last days of the farm's first summer.
