Despite this outrageous heat and lack of rain these past few weeks, my raspberries and patio tomatoes and doing quite well.  It's about 98 degrees here and the lawn is pretty much fried from the raging sun and drought, but I've been harvesting a fair amount of berries from the bushes that my Darling Hubby planted several years ago.  At the end of the growing season, I will take the berries that I've stored in the freezer and make homemade jam...my family's favorite!
