@loribmt What you refer to as "quickles" sounds similar to my old family recipe for summer salad.
It's fresh, native tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion in a vinaigrette. Best made a bit before eating so the flavors can develop and even good the next day unlike more typical salads with greens in them. I like to add avocados now too, something that my mother did not do. I doubt that avocados were that common way back then.
I also LOVE fresh tomatoes with mayo on homemade toasted oatmeal bread but it's been a long time since I've made bread. When my son and daughter were young I made all of our bread. Now I rarely eat bread so I don't bother, and I'm not about to add a bread machine to my arsenal of kitchen equipment.

JK, It was good to read everyone's garden stories good or bad, and the views looking outside their window. It has been a while since anyone wrote something.
I can finally say that did get hay cut and put in the barn and the pastures are not brown and dying. But there are a lot of trees dying in people's yards and along the highway. This is so sad to see. We almost lost trees in our yard but now are coming back since for several weeks I was out watering in the late afternoon. This was the best I could manage since I got home in May after 3 months in the hospital. The worst part was no gardening for me. My garden still is under my silage tarp which is so sad to see. I love reading about everyone's successes. Hopefully, next year will be better with more moisture for some of us.
Thanks to all for sharing and love reading about what is happening in other parts of the country.
PS forget it is now fall calving time and fun to watch the new little calves run and play. Take care. KLH
