Work has begun on the next street over while our street has become the storage for that work, with piles of dirt, sand and gravel with storage trailers and equipment along the whole block. Not a whole lot to report yet, but for the sound of machines every day and one rough lane to get in and out of the neighborhood. And it's a long time until November.
Meanwhile in the gardens, the garlic was ready so was pulled a few days ago and my wife is cleaning them up now. The two jalapeno plants have more peppers than we know what to do with. The raspberry bushes are done and we got about a pint again this year. Next spring we will try removing the fence to let them spill out. The basil and sage in with the mostly gone strawberry plants are doing better now that they're not drowning with all the rain we had. And the sunflowers are still growing, looking like wet dishrags per usual due to our very high heat and humidity currently.
And the wildflowers growing out of the old stump are coming into their own quite well, well enough we discussed doing it again next year.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. We'll be hiding mostly indoors in the air conditioning.

I sympathise with you regarding the roadworks as we have endured the building works across the road, on the bridge and elsewhere for eighteen months now. You do get used to it and when the noise stops, it is bliss.
Great crop from your garden.
I do not miss all the works necessary in more populated areas.
Mind you, I've spent 4 and a half years trying to get the road swept round here as there is far too much loose gravel that has gathered aorund road junctions and I've (so far) helped 3 cyclists up after skidding on it. It will never happen, unless I take a broom to the corners myself - and these junctions are spread over probably 10 sqare miles, so, realistically, I'm not going to be doing it.
Took a short walk just now for some better pics, coming in a few minutes.
