Here is a plant that everyone should be growing.
My wife loves summer savory. She grows it right in our garden and uses it in all sorts of dishes. A bit in her soups and stews really helps with digestion, cutting down on any bloating or gas. She also finds it useful for minor cuts and scrapes because of its antimicrobial properties.

Its anti-inflammatory effects are also great for easing aches and pains. She loves adding it to bean dishes, meats, and veggies. Sometimes, she makes a soothing tea from it to settle her stomach. For sore muscles, she infuses it into oil and uses it for a comforting rub. Truth told; “Summer savory is not just a tasty addition to meals—it’s a real health booster, too.” Oh, and it will pretty well grow anywhere there is lots of sun. But you need to keep it watered, especially after planting, not too much though.
Good Morning!
Food For Thought: “If at first you don’t succeed, try doing it the way your wife suggested.”
It’s a cloudy morning here in cottage country, but the good news is the rain has stopped. However, even though we should see some sunshine, there is a slight chance of a shower throughout the day. Let’s hope not, as we have had our share of rain this summer. Rain is good, but too much can cause issues, especially for us who like growing our own vegetables. So far, though, our gardens are making out okay.
Highway 522 was really busy yesterday, along with our gift shop. Truth be told, we didn’t have a minute to sit down, with folks dropping by one after another. Not complaining, mind ya, as it sure is nice to see and talk to folks. All in all, it was a great day.
Bug Report: All is well in that department which should make the campers, day trippers, tourists and cottagers happy.
On another note: Today is mowing day for my wife and I, which will probably take up most of the morning. After that if the sun shows herself… I am thinking some front porch sittin’ will be in order.
With that, I’m off for my morning breakfast that my lovely wife is preparing. After that, I’ll see if our old mowers will run. One never knows how they are going to react—like trying to predict the weather or a teenager’s mood!
You all have a great day, and I will leave you with this: “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can always bribe him with treats.” Woof!!

Day Rating: Again, it’s not the greatest day for fishing. I give it a 1-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck!
Advice from an Old Angler: Top-water poppers are great for catching them large mouth bass. Cast near cover/lily pads, and give sharp, quick jerks to make a popping sound. Fish can’t resist checking it out. Just remember, when that bass explodes, wait a second before setting the hook—let ’em really grab it.
