Good morning and a lovely day .We need the rain bad.The lawn turning brown. Have so much to do but have not the energy to do it I have to cut up basil leaves to make pesto soon. My breathing has been terrible during these hot days. I have to sit now and then to catch up on my breath. Doing my best to get through the day. Hate feeling this way but that is life. One the good note.How are things here?anything exciting for the rest of the Summer.I am looking for fresh apples soon. The tomatoes ready to ripen.Nothing like garden tomatoes.Hate the waxy kind that they sell at the market. Take care is your day going good, if not change it.lol

As much as I like sunny days we could use the rain too. Our grass is more brown than green these days. Sorry to hear you're having trouble breathing with this hot weather.

@Marilynda1225 the breathing is medical but the heat does not help it.

We're in our dry time too and the grasses are turning brown. My tomatoes take forever to ripen where I live. We have our summer apples ready and the yellow plums are now about ready to eat and make jam. Have a good day and be careful going outside.

@NJChicaa you can use walnuts in place of pine nuts.I like the walnut gives it a woodsy taste

Here in our country, it's the rainy season. It has been rainy hard since last night. I have been sleeping deep in my blanket because it is so cold at night. Hope it rains in your place soon and hope that your breathing gets better soon. Enjoy your pesto!

We need rain, too. The sooner the better. So sorry you are having trouble breathing in the hot weather. It's better for you to stay in the house and keep cool. Enjoy your pesto. My son is growing basil for me and will make it, too.
