Ohhh, wish I had seen this a few hours earlier! I've gotten most of the produce in but there is still a fair amount left. Hope everyone else around here was more on the ball!

As much as I hate to say it, I wish it would freeze here. With all the rain, mosquito and horse flies are at record numbers and they're making life miserable. Of an evening you can actually hear a high pitched whine as the skeeters come out. At dusk they'll dang near carry you off. I was out in my timber last night and I swear I was dang near eaten alive. I can't even count all my bites.

The horse flies are nearly as bad. You step out the door and the things are chasing you down. They're worse than I've ever seen them. The wasps and stuff are getting bad too. They must be getting ready for winter because their temperament has gone from fairly docile to downright belligerent. They got after me last week and stung the ever living tar out of me.

Got most of the veggies into the house to can today what is left. Need to get the rest of the basil in today. I think we will sleep outside next to our camp fire tonight. Snuggle weather !! I refuse to beleive that summer is leaving us...going for a swim today too..I don't face reality well !!

Thank God for Lake Erie.

We didn't have any frost last night here. I picked all my tomatoes and green beans anyway and it was a good thing as the slugs were getting to my ripe tomatoes before I was. So now they are ripening in the pantry. Just have a little of this and that left which I will probably take care of today. So now I don't care if we get frost.

No frost at my place in western NY but dang cold with temps at 5 AM around 42F. I'm near Lake Ontario so the night time temps tend to stay a little higher than south of here. Still hoping for a few more, frost free weeks so the garden can finish up. Everything is late due to the wet, cold summer we had.
