I think that it is safe to say that spring has died and summer has arrived in southern Oklahoma. Today it is 99 degrees F and feels more like 115 degrees F (according to weather.com). HOT! But at least it's a dry heat. Humidity is what kills me more than the heat.

I have a friend who is sending me some dried lavender for my bar soap making. I am going to plant a couple of different kinds of lavender as soon as my husband builds me a raised bed for it.

My mother-in-law's turkeys are getting huge and the chickens aren't far behind. Around September the youngsters should start laying eggs and then we'll be up to our ears in them!

Summer veggies are starting to grow. Squash, zucchini, okra, and soon tomatoes. At the end of July we'll have blackberries and I'll be making cobblers and jams. The heat isn't all bad. lol
