Summer has come to Beeville - and it's chilly!

It seems a strange day, given the weather, for me to point out that summer is here in Beeville. But here it is!

 Last weekend we went to the Amish market down the road. The red fruits of summer practically sparkled there in abundance. We bought some thinking we'd even purchased enough to last the week. Not one strawberry, nor a single tomato remained by end of day. We enjoyed the bright, fresh strawberries the Amish had grown on our ride home. We feasted on savory, juicy tomatoes at dinner. Ah, lycopene! It was divine!

Driving into town today, we passed a neighbor's thriving corn crop. The beginnings of the silken tassels were rising from the green! When the silk rises, you know summer has come. It has set the pulses of people here to bounding. It's hard for me to feel anything but happy out there in the sun.

Yet our high tomorrow is in the low 70's and we'll wake to temps in the 40's tomorrow. Huh.
