Lovely weather we've been having in Central Missouri since my return from the land of fruits and nuts.

Dumped a bit over 5" out of the rain gauge earlier in the week. The flight from Chicago to CoMO Monday evening was not at all pleasant. We circled the airport for close to an hour waiting for a break in the storm so the place could land safely.

My pond excavation is once again full of water. That may not be a really bad thing as it was getting quite dry and a bit hard to dig.

The garden is still producing faster than we can pick. I found this butternut squash hiding behind the horseradish. The sun tea jar is there to provide scale. I've never seen a butternut this big.

That’s quite a big specimen of squash! Welcome back - glad you arrived safe and sound.

I used to have to fly out of Lambert for business. Chances were that you would have to circle for 1/2 to 1 hour, even if the weather was perfect. I do not miss flying one little bit.
