I haven't talked about the munchkins in awhile, but they're still around. The other day they were so comfortable sleeping on the bed, I couldn't disturb them to straighten the covers.
The monsoon rains came back this week with nice storms over several days.
I've always loved seeing the rain sweep across the valley, and here at the ranch, the views are better than ever.
This is from the mailboxes a couple miles east of the ranch, looking west.
Luckily, we made it home before the rain hit!
The moisture is good for the garden, of course. Most days, Sam comes home after his morning bus route and works on a project or two.
And it's paying off. We've harvested big cucumbers that feed us for several days.
Our "mystery plant" that grew from a seed in the compost pile is spaghetti squash and it's huge! Still not ripe yet, though.
Peppers and corn are growing well.
And cherry tomatoes!
Fortunately our nearest neighbors aren't bothering the garden plants, preferring the sweet native mesquite pods.
The storms always lower the air temperature and by morning we're sometimes able to open the windows to fresh air.
Dingus says, "thanks, mom," while Frankie just wants his turn at the window.
It's almost the weekend. Enjoy!
