July 5th
Our air is really hazy and smoky right now because of the Tunnel 5 Fire in the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington side of the river. A friend of mine’s husband is a firefighter up there and she’s not getting much sleep these days. I am so grateful for all the firefighters who lay their lives on the line in order to protect us. ♥

Thank you for da pīpī pix! Are those squash/zucchini/pumpkin blossoms under the tomatoes? Or was that a marigold bud? Our skies are hazy too, but I think that’s from local fireworks and the B.C. fires.
That’s a marigold. I have one zucchini blossom but it’s male and no girl flowers yet. Hopefully soon. I wish I had more bees to help pollinate. We have tons of bee flowers, but hardly any honeybees. I miss them!
