A Message from Kathleen:

Dear Friends,

My garden is starting to yield its treasures and it’s such a joy!

Sweet corn is in season and luscious tomatoes and peaches are an everyday part of our meal plans. Even though I don’t grow corn myself (the raccoons long ago won that battle), I definitely eat more than my share!

What’s your garden giving you this year?

Be well!

Kathleen
