Hi Everyone
It has been nearly 2 months since I have been on, am happy to be back on.

Needed to return to SD 2 different times due to deaths in the family. Came back and immediately started planting my garden.

All my veggies are doing good, but the strawberries are very slow in coming up. Had planted nearly 50 strawberry plants, maybe they are slow in growing ?

Today picked some small beets along with the greens and I steamed them for supper. Used up left over egg salad ( from sandwiches) and added 2 baked chopped up potatoes to it, therefore having potato salad. Used onion tops for the potato salad too.

Last sunday evening we had a horrible thunderstorm , hail with 69 mile an hour wind with down pour of rain which totaled an inch &1/2. Happy about the moisture but can do without the wind and hail. No damage to buildings or windows so that was good.

Keep cool everyone, we also use air-conditioning, closing up the house early in the day and closing shades / curtains. Yesterday was 102 here but today once again the temp has come way down it's tolerable.

Have a good evening all.

Joy
