Well we are just coming to the end of a mini heatwave and are now headed for rain and possible snow on local mountains..high winds are bringing in cooler temps, which I know most people are glad of.
Have a great week, and eat MORE veggies

 The mini heatwave with temps in mid 80f-90's has made plants blossom like crazy, in fact we have had summerlike weather for 2 months.
