Lazy, Hazy Days Of Summer

As temperatures hit the 90s and 100s in NJ this week, I am giving thanks for air conditioning, cool basements and cool, lingering showers. The intensity of the sun and heat is also reminding me how grateful I am for vegetables, such as tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant and flowers like roses, zinnias and marigolds that thrive on the beating sun and heat.
