sunday picking

picked a lovely bounty this morning. the basil is overwhelming. and I'm freezing for winter months, when the green taste of basil will be appreciated. 

have been eating green beans for days. those might get frozen too, for some winter soup.

the cherry tomatoes are all mine, as d., does not care for them. (it makes me sad that he misses out on the sweetness of them)

quite happy that I have this garden, that is doing so well. it gives me a little bit of peace & satisfaction every day. 

today my newton friends are having our annual garden tour. we brave the heat & bicycle around town, visiting our friend's yards, eating and drinking as we go. always a wonderful afternoon. one that makes you go to bed early. am sad to be missing it. and have thoughts of making a special trip for it next year.
