Today we got to meet our neighbor, whose mother owns the adjacent field and property, mowing her lawn.  We all talked for a while and had a lot in common.  It was a very worthwhile exchange, literally–I found someone else to share produce with, and she gave us very helpful info about the local area.  I see some pleasant craft beer sessions in our future.  It’s nice to be surrounded by mostly decent folks.

As is our custom, we’ll be spending the evening with my kids, which means more photos of course, but for now, here are a few flower specimens roasting in the broiling sun, including the opening sunflower overseeing our neighbor’s freshly mowed field.  And finally, the first tomato is starting to ripen.
