@becsbuddy Sorry to hear the air quality and temps are not cooperating. We have been having picture-perfect weather for a few days, yesterday my walk was 4 miles, then I stopped at a neighbor's garage sale to chat and talked gardens and families with my next door neighbor. Best of all, I talked my husband into joining me for an easy afternoon bike ride, including a stop at the local (outdoor only) Dairy Queen - you phone in your order and a masked employee unlocks the door and hands it out to you.

Today, after my walk, the day will be spent weeding - following the shade around my yard. And preparing some tomatoes and cucumbers for freezing for this winter - they are now ripening faster than we can eat or give away!There's room in the freezer now since I spent Friday doing a long-overdue defrosting and rearranging. Supper will be wild rice brats on the grill and fresh veggies - and we'll eat on the patio.

Have a nice walk today everyone.
Sue
