The sun is making all the plants wither in the scorching heat, but we managed to pick these potatoes before it was too late.

Dad’s pepper plants. Once they ripen to red, they’ll be spicy enough to be picked for daily meals. I love spicy but I was never able to manage the heat as well as my family did, who all preferred to take a bite out of a piece of pepper with their meals.

The dogs usually go outside everyday day to get their business down, but it’s a rare treat when I let the cats outside to play. (yes, I’m overprotected mother-hen) Maggie is on a new high today.
