Harvesting

June 12, 2005

Today was the first day of summer heat around here.  My mom hit the garden early to harvest beets and was back in the house by 10:30.  Thank goodness our house stays fairly cool throughout the summer since we do not have air conditioning.  Gill designed the house to take advantage of the slight wind flow up the canyon.  And except for the hottest two weeks of the summer, the evening air cools the house down even if the house has gotten warm from the summer heat.
