Hi Y'all.

Sorry I have been absent.

The Great Wind Storm of August has left us w/o power for the better part of two days so far.

At the moment there are a whole fleet of Louisville Power Co trucks on the street.

Hopefully the power will be up in the next hour?

I'll be back to fill orders in a bit!

Maggie, the only thing as good as MD Maters are MD Silver Queen corn Let's have some of both (we aren't a bit bias are we?)

I do so love real tomatoes from local farms or the garden in summer! There's nothing better. It's pouring rain here today, does that count as having cooled down?

Anyone else want a tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil sandwich?

I'm with ya, hon! It's not biased - just the best!

Silver Queen corn - now I'm really drooling!

Drying out here after Sunday's Monsoon - nearly 6" of rain in as many hours - yet 15 miles to the south only got about an inch - go north and some places got 10". The ground was like walking on a wet sponge. We needed the rain, but moderation would have been nice too.

Headed to Baltimore shortly - I'll wave to Maggie as I drive by. Anyone care for a bagel with cream cheese before I hit the road?

[Pinot's Mom]

If you're not gone yet, a bagel would be lovely, thank you! Coffee's on!

Coming to Baltimore? What're you doing for lunch?

Unfortunately I'm doing a doctor appointment for lunch (12:45) - in Timonium actually. And I'll have my grandson with me too. We really do have to get together soon tho!

Bagel coming up...........

Actually, it is a lovely day for August in Chicago-- sunny, not too humid, high 84F-- and I'm stuck inside.

It is a lovely California day - clear skys - that beautiful blue color - and no wind - very peaceful day.

Now wouldn't some silver queen corn hit the spot? And an honest to gosh tomato - what a concept - I didn't think they even made them anymore!!!

Since Slick is all over Wom without his shirt - I will just leave it alone

I don't do ironing anyway!!

[RICHARD]

Hey everyone,

Had a day filled with fun and work.

Gini,

I do miss the 'dry heat' of Cali, and spent the day cleaning up some of the branches that were left over from last Saturday's storm.

I thought about your tree as I chopped up wood and tore apart branches.

[Karen]

And did you have a milt julep as a reward for your efforts?

No, I have yet to sample a Kentucky Bourbon.

When I do, I'll post about it!

---------------------

One of the wonders of the area is the weather.

I have to apologize to everyone for being so flip about CA weather compared to what the rest of the country.

I humbly realize that not every day is 80 degrees, sunny and a deep blue sky.

(Gini, it is a culture shock!)

I stand corrected.
