Mere Being - 033 - July - Game Changers, Ethnographies, Hollandaise Sauce

Hello! The terrible heat has continued!

Now we've got that set up and I can get the night time temperature I need to, you know, sleep.I'm just starting to get stuff out of the garden — we got 2 cucumbers and one pepper and the squirrels got a third cucumber. Picked the first cantaloupe today.
