Slow growth

The late start to summer is showing in the garden. The corn should be producing silk but it's barely four feet tall and not a sign of an ear anywhere. The beans are very small but they are starting to produce tiny green pods and the zucchini has bright yellow flowers all over it. The tomatoes are the real winners, covered with flowers-if even half of the blooms become fruit we will have a bumper crop.

In other news, I have found a perfect french bread recipe that is better than store-bought, and simple to make to boot:


And...(drumroll)... I have also taken the big leap of quitting my job to stay home and be a full-time mom to Miss M. It's a little scary to not have the income coming in but with careful budgeting and some sacrifices everything is comfortable. I am one very happy and lucky girl.
