Summer tiiiiiiime, and the livin' is eeeeeeasy...
Feels like one of those classic lazy mid-summer weekends. Hot dry weather, but enough recent rain that everything is green and growing. Green gives this kind of weather a much different feel than the crackly brown our brief drought a few weeks back provided.
Still, I'm not a warm weather guy. I've been enjoying the nice weather chiefly by observing it through the windows of my air-conditioned four season porch. Mornings and evenings feel quite pleasant. But that mid-day heat blast is not designed for pasty-pale white guys bred for cooler climates.
Big news story of the weekend - the Colorado peaches are in at Bob's Produce Ranch! Not big news to you? You get your peaches from Califor-ni-yay, maybe? Trust me, the Colorado peaches are the best I taste all year. They come in sometime in late July, and last until about early September. Then we're into Idaho peach time which, though slightly more flavorful than Idaho potatoes, have never really captured me.
In unrelated news, the wife just took our youngest into the doctor's office. Looks like she might have chicken pox. Joy.

I thought Chicken Pox had a vaccination now, or did you skip it for fear of mercury?
Here's a link to Bob's. Just up University Avenue from me in Fridley.
It turns out it wasn't chicken pox. Just something else viral, contageous and untreatable. But nothing as serious as chicken pox. She's up to date on all her vaccinations, but I can never keep track what they're all supposed to cover.
