Rototiller rumbles other side of neighbor's fence, relentless. Sun beats down on my own garden, killing the cauliflower, withering bush beans. Zucchinni tangle with strawberry starts for a piece of dirty shade. Tomatoes burst in the heat. Peppers and petunias tumble and toss their flowers over the edge of railroad ties, teasing, taunting. They love the dry dog days of summer.
