The heat and sun is here! The plants grow faster. I have to irrigate more. And everything finds what shade it can! There are lots of leafy green veggies this week (and extra spinach! yay!). And more flowers begin to show life to their buds and flower stalks! The familiar weekly routine of plant, irrigate, tend, harvest, repeat has begun!  The field is full! Time to harvest before the dawn comes!   It's that special time of summer! The wonderfully magical blue skies filled with cottonwood fluff! Growing up all the grumpy old white men complained for days and weeks about it, but I have always loved watching it float away on the summer breezes. It's the summer 'snow' that makes you feel like you get to live inside a magical snow globe and I'm glad I get to share the field and forest with many Cottonwoods (my fav deciduous tree! shhh don't tell the rest. I don't want them to get jealous!)  The calm winds, damp air, and dew drops at dawn are a better wake up than coffee. Yep, I said it!  The lupines keep shining while a few other flower friends make their seasonal debut!  The hens soak up the evening sun during their daily free time, and follow me around hoping for some special treats.  As the sun sets, the huntress creeps silently through the tall grass, with one last chance to catch her prey ... before her human carries her safely inside for nighttime. The gophers and ground squirrels will still be there come morning but many larger things that stalk silently through the grass come out at night. What's available this week?
Where to find it all?
I'll be at the Farmers Market at Libby, this Thursday from 3-7pm! I'll be at the Troy Farmers Market, this Friday from 330-630pm!
