Mmmm...... That shoop looks tashty!

Good and cool here lately. Especially tonight. The weatherman said, "Not quite cold enough for frost, but..."., and I thought, "FROST???". It was just a couple weeks ago I was sweating standing still... 90*. The flowers in the window boxes got toasted in the heat wave we had and I wasn't ready to be looking at dead flowers just yet. So just this week I planted them again. I never do fall planting, but Southern States, our farm co-op, had all them purdy flowers out front and it got me buyin' and plantin'. I just planted grass after doing some groundwork figuring I better hurry up before it's too late. Our frost date is a month from now, but I dunno...

I always thought it was funny how people think of soup as a cold weather food. It's true being a liquid it is great for warming you up. But it's also a perfect food for hot weather, being easier to digest. It's not like we don't eat hot food all summer. In fact, we eat some mighty filling food off the grille... steak, burgers, ribs, etc. A bowl of soup can be a meal and it's eat and keep on moving.

I'll say one thing, this summer went fast! I know some pleasant warm days are ahead, yet. But golly it sure did cool off fast around here
