Hot enough out there for ya'? If you're reading this in the U.S., I imagine you're feeling the heatwave that pretty much the whole country is having right now. Our part of Wisconsin has finally had a break in the dryness with several recent strong storms and heavy rainfalls. However, we're still considered to be in a severe to extreme drought due to having a major rainfall deficit compared to what we would normally have received by this time of year.
Luckily for the vegetable garden, the heat and rain combo have contributed to lots of growth. Noel is harvesting a lot right now! Especially zucchini. So many zucchini. See more below for links to a tour of Noel's July garden and fritter recipe to help use up all those zucchini.
Just like last summer, earlier this month, Andy and I joined some friends for another road trip to visit more of our national parks. This time we headed east instead of west. Scroll down for a selection of Andy's photos from the trip.
