- Hot
- Abundant Queen Anne's Lace mingled with stalky blue flowers whose name I don't know
- Humid
- County Fair Time
- Fla-Vor-Ice
- Too many fireflies to count
- Cicadas buzzing
- Oscillating fans and air conditioning units
- Almost 50,000 green tomatoes in my garden
- And only 1 red one
- Also a few green peppers
- Tall, green cornfields
- Fields of soybeans that look not unlike lush green shag carpet
I never thought I'd say this, but crop rotation is a beautiful thing. Not only does it help the plants grow, but it spices up the scenery each year. What were soybeans last year is corn this year and what was corn last year are soybeans this year. It's strangely comforting.
And the color green definitely makes the world seem cooler than it really is. That dry, brown desert business does nothing to make you feel better.

Green is so much cooler than brown. I've often wondered why people live in deserts.
pretty pictures. i'm jealous of the fresh produce. the veggies here in TX are suffering
Dad - I love the green out here...I didn't realize I was missing out on so much in Utah!
Silly Marie - We picked our first ripe tomato this morning...before we know it we'll be up to our eyeballs in tomatoes! And then it will be time to make salsa. :)
