Yepper nearby us SW MI was over 100 degrees today and tomorrow is predicted to be 104-110 in the inland cities!! WOW!! we are breaking all kinds of weather records in 2012! But it could be much worse so this is bearable. I just worry about our wildlife, we havent been this long without rain in several several years and all the ponds around are so low and even the rivers are way down, the corn in the fields is showing signs of drought and even our maple/oak tree leaves are curling and turning brownish. YIKES!! I think we are gonna see a very very early fall! which wouldnt be so bad it would bring cooler weather! I will so miss seeing and picking those beautiful big dark red apples this fall and even the pears and the late peaches. Will have to drive south maybe? LOL
My mom and I made up some spinach n cheese filled lasagna rolls in a homemade tomato red pepper sauce.
We put 2 peppers in each pan. Filled with rice, sauteed veggies, zucchini, onions, carrots, corn, tomatoes, yellow squash and my blend of herbs and seasonings.
And we made stuffed cabbage rolls in a homemade sauce.
These are may lavender lemonade jars. Forgot my cute sign at home =( but they sold well
This is looking down the row at my newest market. Texas Township near Kalamazoo MI. Tues nights from 4-7pm
Love the atmosphere here and the wood beams make this pavillion so rustic. Perfect for a farmers market!

Everythng looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing.
Oh my!!!! I loved every minute of our West MI heat wave. Of course I spent it in the pool and not out working markets, LOL. Looks to be another lovely (and more tolerable for most) week coming. Sure could use some rain though. I'm about to give up the battle of the trying to keep the lawn green. It's looking very out of place amoung all toasty brown lawns on the street anyway. :o(
