We didn't get much of Summer this year. Only needed to turn on the AC like 5 times. Zucchini and cucumber did great. Herbs good. Tomatoes never ripened. Mold and bad weather for weeks, has forced constant attentiveness. I was talking to another artist yesterday and she lost some of her crop. Not a great growing year.. I certainly have deeper respect for farmers, and what it must be like losing a crop. Especially if that food kept their families alive. Like before there were places to buy food..everywhere. It can happen really fast. Hours.  Sadly, I guess I’ve really never been connected to nature in that way. Never enough to notice stuff like that. Like all rewarding experiences, sometimes failure can make success more meaningful. I grew up with what seemed like a huge backyard..but really was just an oversized lot. My mom always had an extensive garden and orchard. We had everything.. Apple, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, pears, beans, corn, grapes, carrots, tomatoes etc. I spent many a lazy Summer days, snapping green beans into a big silver bowl. My mom was a prolific canner and canned all the veggies, fruits, and made jams, and leathers, to store over the Winter. My mom was a prepper. But did it subtly. I knew why..
