Our temps are all over the place right now - 45°F one morning, then 68° the next, with highs anywhere from mid 60s to high 70s. I'm still harvesting lots (some might say too many) of cucumbers, zucchini (got lucky with the vine borers this year), and tomatoes, and just starting to pick the peppers (a lot of which will get frozen and pickled). The pole beans - which have already given us more than enough to freeze to last us for the winter - are starting a second flush of flowers, so if the weather holds out for a while we should get quite a few more beans.

We had quite a thunderstorm come through last night and early this morning, one thunderclap and lightning flash around 11 pm last night were practically simultaneous (and extremely loud) and I suspect a nearby tree must have been hit. Years ago a big spruce in the corner of our yard (40-50 feet away from the house) was hit by lightning and there were wood chips from it scattered all over our deck Blinking
