A reminiscence of warm season meals with morning kitchen care. The piece extols early rising to enjoy cool evenings and introduces pressure cookers for quick roasts in ninety minutes. It includes potato salad variations with dill and capers, a fish and potato salad, and a porch supper menu with chicken loaf and fruit drinks.
Mrs J L Rhea discusses drought signs and weather forecasting with stories of rain and a Hyla Versicolor tree toad. She notes misbeliefs about rain crows, explains tree toads’ color shifts and arboreal habits, and recounts finding a Hyla Versicolor specimen indoors while considering the coming fall gardening tasks.
The article discusses extreme drought across Iowa reducing garden yields. It notes soil variability and failed advice, urges deep watering of trees and evergreens where possible, and observes earlier blooming of perennials like hemerocallis. It predicts more tulips and daffodils will be planted this year.
The forecast notes mixed signals with gains in possessions and finances but warns of employment troubles and a sudden disintegrating event. It urges prudence and discretion, especially for those with birthdays, and highlights Christine Nilsson as a notable nativity, a clever artistic figure.
