Thoughts from the T-Shirt Lady

We are now in the terribly hot days of August. We have had good rain a couple of times since my last post - of course we are still under low water conditions and are concerned about our crops. All of the farms around here are really hurting for rain - I’m so glad we don’t rely on our crops to make a living!

Our vegetables continue to be in great demand. My last post - we felt the watermelons were not going to make it. Well I have to tell you, those are the sweetest melons we have tasted, and there is a great demand for them. So relieved!

We have wonderful cantaloupes as well - several kinds, and they are popular as well. And of course our sweet corn continues to draw new and repeat customers. My DH says every day that he doesn’t know if the sweet corn we have growing now is going to fill out - nor how long we will continue to sell it - as it is really hurting for water. We could be down to just watermelon in a couple of weeks if we don’t see any relief.

Most days I stay indoors and just come out for the customers. It’s due to be in the high nineties and even 100 this week. Well, still get a lot of reading done - (I’m back to reading the Harry Potter series… haven’t gotten the latest one yet - as all of my others are in paper back, and I can wait…)

My tee shirts are continuing to sell - at the vegetable stand, and I’m also getting orders from those ladies who are buying what I have on hand. All in all - it’s working out fine!
