Everyday holds a little bit of excitement during the growing seasons.  I love that I can go outside and look at nature's overnight progress.
Change.
Hope.
Little bits of progress are seen all over the garden at the start of this week.  Peppers and tomatoes are starting to form.  In fact, Patrick has already had to start making tomato supports.  The potatoes are popping out of the ground.  Little sprouts are becoming small plants.  And flowers are blooming.  The air smells amazing at dusk from the wild honeysuckle that surrounds the yard.
Looks like this week we will be in for some cooler temperatures which is always good for working in the gardens.  With last weeks highs reaching into the 80's we could already use a break from the heat.  Hopefully this week brings as much or more rain than last week! 
Sadly I report that the baby mice that we rescued did not make it.  Patrick did such a great job providing round the clock care to the little ones.  But sadly they were just not able to thrive without their mom.  Fortunately we have the Rothe Farm Rats to love on.  And we may have a little chipmunk running around the house that Makita the cat chased in and has yet to find!
We have lots to be thankful for and to look forward to.
