Oh my how it can change

Last week we had the type of weather that I love the most. Rainy, drizzly, cool. For several days it didn't even make it out of the 70s, if it even reached that warm!

 So in a week we went from this (above) to this (below). 

If you can't figure out what the bottom photo is...well, it is what it looks like at lunch time on a 100 degree day. Everyone is fighting for a spot to park in the shade.

In other news, our garden is finally starting to really produce. I picked the first yellow squash over the weekend, along with a couple of tomatoes. And these are my husband's pride and joy...beets. We pickled about 20 pints and a quart or two. There are a lot more here than it looks like.
