Hot days have made everything thirsty! Cooling down over this next week, thank goodness!

Almost every afternoon, I let this Bug Patrol Crew out to wander. They do a good job even if I do have to chase them off the front stoop or "Out of my flowers!"

Star thistle be gone!

Mowing and soon to plow field where star thistle has taken over. We had pretty much locked it as a weed on our hill until the 2002 forest fire trucks reintroduced it.

The cool weather has been such a nice break. Time for more heat to ripen tomatoes!

Diary 7/10/16

There has been an unusual amount of rainfall the last three days. For the most part July is apt to be hot and dry. It will make for juicier berries and stave off forest fires for a little while. White peach is loaded. I am terrible at thinning, but that is what it needs.

Diary 7/8/16

I plan to get back to blogging and writing in general now that the family "union" as my grandson would say is over. I am a little down with the aftermath of seeing so many people I love for five days...The garden is flourishing and needs my help, so I spent the morning there healing my heart and proceeding with life.
