A Bit Late: June Strawberries


And a bit short lived.  Since it has turned cold and is raining here in Maine.  All night last night. Rain pouring down. This morning I chose clothing I last wore when it was not even spring.  Heavy hooded sweatshirt. Long pants.  And heavy orange rain coat.  Cold.  Wet.  Was it really so hot and sunny early this week?  Sunday to Wednesday afternoon????

I don't think anyone is picking berries right now and if they are--the berries are not at their best.  I had some supermarket berries with my yogurt today.  Trader Joe's Honey Greek yogurt.  Every review said it was yummy.  Not.  Too sweet.  Too loose (not thick).  I'm trying to think of something to use it up--meaning not eating it as yogurt in my lunch.

I bought 32 cents worth ( one pound) of Red Pontiac seed potatoes for another container of potatoes in the garden.  The others are growing so lushly that I want to grown more.  I also rescued a few jalapeño pepper plants from a dumpster.  Five.  I'll find room.

My Saturday off tomorrow.  If the rain stops (but it looks like rain until after the 4th of July) I will plant things in my daughter's garden.  Perhaps I will plant, even in the rain.  I will also sleep late.  I am very tired.  And since it's cold, I will wrap myself in my down comforter.

We had clouds and rain, so I never got to see the Super Moon.  I had wanted to see it.

I'm hoping July is a better month.
