[Psalm 73]

Thank you for the PING.
Who pours concrete in July? Unless it's what you do for a living, anyway (I used to when I was a kid - glad I kicked that habit).

Strawberries did well, even though we relocated them from another bed this spring.
Bumper crop of raspberries.
Everything else was pitiful small until this past week of upper 90's and scorching sun - amazing what one good week can do for veggies.

Today is the day when we move the new chickens in with old Goldie, now that they are almost her size (too big to get picked on).
Right now they are in temporary quarters (makeshift coop and an old run), right in the middle of my wood-splitting area. (Which will mean no more: "I can't split wood because...")

65 degrees this morning in mid-Missouri. Wow, what a change from “broil” the last few weeks.
We made our first pasta putanesca this week using a dozen Roma tomatoes from our veggie garden.

Yum !

Hubby makes his extra money pouring concrete. He’s retired teacher, but always worked in the summer pouring concrete-worked his way through college pouring curb and gutter and basements, sidewalks etc.

We have almost continuous concrete patio all around the house. And we have an all brick home-hubby laid all the brick and my oldest daughter carried hod.
