For a Midwesterner there's nothing like a drop in humidity to boost your mood.

It's like a collective sigh of relief has been issued by everyone living under this "Sweat Ceiling" (think debt ceiling pun - thanks NPR).  Windows are WIDE open and attitudes have been shifted.

Our yarden is doing well.  I've planted a late crop of beets and carrots, just before the rain yesterday, and this weekend I hope to get in another go of beans and peas.

Cucumber

Cucumbers are producing like mad, and remember those lovely green orbs (tomatoes) in my last post?  Well, thankfully a friend and I planted the same varieties, because, roofers don't seems to give a sh*t about protecting tomatoes.  Our 20 plants were smashed, and have since been ripped out.  We have transplanted a few from previously mentioned friend's yard- though I'm not sure that that is what tomatoes want this late in the season.
