It's been one month since I last posted something here. Running and Summer have taken over my life lately. I spent nearly 2 weeks out in Oregon, covering the US Olympic Trials for Track & Field out in Eugene. It was a fascinating trip, but I was particularly ready to be home, oh, about 4 days into it. But I met lots of nice people, made some friends, watched many many incredible races and did a good bit of running myself. Also made it down to the Eugene farmers market a couple times, and got to visit with a good friend for an evening.
Now it's back to the grind, lots of weeding and vegetable growing and picking. There's planning for the winter and for next year starting to come around, just as the truly hot weather of the year starts to hit us. We've gotten a couple really great thunderstorms in the last day or two, which was a nice break from the week+ of hot dry weather (we aren't used to that kind of thing around here). It knocked some plants over, but they'll be fine, I'm sure.
Aside from these poppies, whose time as flowers has come and gone, we have a lot more flowers just starting to open. Most of them are kinds that I've never tried to grow before, so there have been surprises waiting for me nearly every morning these days when I step outside in the morning.
It's Iced Tea time of the year. Yum.
