If it's not the heat,

It's the humidity. And right now I can see it on the inside of the windows as Ez makes noodles. I can see the tomato plants out the window, and they're looking good! No ripe ones, yet. That won't be for a while. Our blueberries aren't ripe yet, either. Looks like that will be in a couple of weeks. And none of the shiny little beetles that drive me bonkers -- that will be in early July, I think. Hopefully they won't eat too much.

I've caught four field mice in four days. Cute little buggers. In live traps! And each one is named, and then let go, far far away. Today's mouse, "Mothra," got little dark blue dots on its tail, thanks to Keenan, who believes that we're catching the same mouse each day. I know Bartimaus Catslayer, day 2 mouse, hasn't returned -- that one had a ripped up ear. Could be Bart's somewhere around, we may never know....

Okey dokey artichokey. How many more mice can I catch?

We've started on the cherries! Guess they aren't as "wormy" as we first thought. And a blueberry pie for the fourth of July? (Nice ryhme!)
