Always my favorite time of the year...veggies growing, kids swimming, birds chirping, laundry waving in the wind...I love Summer!
New to me this year are eggplant, which I confess I do not know how to cook. My daughter brought home six plants from the organic vegetable farm that she works at, and I innocently put them into the garden. I now have about twenty almost ready to harvest. This is AFTER I picked a dozen and gave them friends who took pity on me. I googled some recipes and had a friend send me a tried and true from her own collection, so I am almost ready to take the plunge. Almost.
Also new to me this summer is the political process that I thought I knew so much about until I decided to run for local office. I learned a new meaning to the word "running" as used in "running for office"...because I have not stopped running since I started! I am on petition #2...58 signatures needed for each petition, with a few extras just in case. I've been through almost everyone I know in town, and I've been knocking on doors of people I have not met before. All in all, it has been a difficult but extraordinarily satisfying undertaking. I am receiving so much support and encouragement...even if I don't win the position, I will have been blessed by the process :-)
