For the first half of the week we all wondered when it became October? Rainrainrain, grey, and chilly-cold. Sweaters and thick socks.
It rained so heavily on Sunday that the local streams rose over their banks and flooded the roads (and a few basements) for a few hours.
Overall, it has been a remarkably cool and damp August...
But the sun has come out again - bringing the heat with it. Maybe I'll get some summer squash and cherry tomatoes this month after all.
I did get to harvest enough flowers and herbs for a yummy salad for dinner.*
And now back to our regularly scheduled studio time...
*Garden salad ingredients:
Greens: leaf spinach, rustic arugula, climbing spinach, garden sorrel, salad burnett
Herbs: creeping golden oregano, spicy globe basil, chives, chervil, parsley, cilantro
Flowers: marjoram, viola, scarlet runner bean, borage, calendula, garlic chives, purple chives, and sweet cicely.
Best served with a sweet dressing - poppy seed, raspberry vinaigrette or my current favorite - Sesame pear!
