They work in that heat.

Several donation items offered online today, kitchen items and, separately, an old kitchen sink. Yup. The one they took out of this house in 2002 has been in the garage or sitting beside the fence for all of this time. Cast iron, weighs a ton. It needs refinishing, but I looked at the Facebook Marketplace and in the region are probably two dozen similar old sinks offered for sale that have been up for a while. Everything from several hundred dollars to $20. So I suggested in my Freecycle offer that it might bring a nice price as scrap. (I don't want to try to do that myself, though I have in the past, when I owned a pickup truck.)

One of the big eggplants became baba ghanouj today, and I made a pot of lentil soup to accompany several future meals. As I took a couple of tomatoes and cucumbers to the next door neighbor I realized I need to add Feta cheese to my shopping list. There's a salad I make with diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta, with Italian dressing that is a great summer meal in itself. I took some okra to the neighbors on the other side. They're always glad to see you coming when you're carrying a handful of fresh garden produce. Hell, no, I don't want roofers falling off the roof onto my cukes and tomatoes.
