I hope you all had a great Fourth of July weekend. It seemed relatively quiet in the little neighborhood – I have a feeling the colder weather put a damper on fireworks and many an outdoor party.

How was your Fourth of July?

And I hate to bring it up but we’re more than half-ways through the very cold and rainy summer we’ve had so far – how are you coping?

The South Perry Blog would like to talk to some gardeners – this was of course the first summer I planted tomato plants in ages, and they still look cold and tired. Same goes for the basil.

This week’s Thursday morning blog session will be postponed to July 15 which is, drum roll please, the Thursday prior to the South Perry Fair and Parade on July 17. Have you filled out your parade form? The blog will be looking for you…
