We keep our collection container tightly lidded, and it STILL is a buggy, fermenting humid mush after just two days. Two days in the 90s with high ambient humidity, that is.
The garden is getting a bit dry, and may well need some supplemental water in the next day or two. I miss the daily/every other daily rainstorms in the wee hours. Filius added a trellis for the watermelon, and I did some serious pruning of the sage as it was crowding everything around it. The pruned bits turned into three bunches of sage hanging from our ceiling fans to dry, and a bottle of sage honey. Mmmmm. Sage tea is supposed to be good ... I'll probably thin out some more sage this weekend, and collect some thyme, and dehydrate some basil. I'm looking forward to the tomates ripening!
The tree chopping activity across the street has ceased. Seven trees on the other side of the street and 5 trees on this side are no more. Our view is seriously changed. It'll be even more changed when the willow loses its leaves this fall and we can see across the street from our living room!
Nothing is on my needles now. I finished a second pair of slippers and am contemplating whether I should keep making more and perfect things, or find some other bunny trail to go haring off on. In the meantime, I am working on making some patterns of mine publishable. A little bit of polish here, a little bit of polish there, and then they'll be up on Ravelry!

Apricots! Wish I could help pick up some of those apricots. You're probably done by now.
Too bad about the trees across the street. :(
Done with the apricots? No. Alas, no. Four 30-gallon trash cans of apricots went to the town compost pile today (not stuffed full ... that would be MUCH too heavy), and I fully expect to be picking apricots from the ground for an hour a day the next week or two. You've got time to plan a trip, book a flight, and come on over!
