We got 2” of rain overnight - some thunder, but little wind, so another good soaker. After two days of dry, that worked out well for a change for the garden.

Things really aren’t looking that shabby out there, now that we’ve had a little ‘dry,’ other than for the tomatoes. :(

I’m really getting sick of cucumbers though, LOL!

We’re going to have the first BLT of the season for supper, tonight. I had to BUY a tomato at a farm stand we went to yesterday - which goes against everything I hold holy, LOL! I don’t think I’ve bought a tomato in 25 years!

Heat Warnings for the next few days with temps hitting 105 degrees at times. Ugh! You know, I LIVE HERE for a REASON! I don’t like HOT!

I think we’re making a ‘Menard’s Run’ before Beau heads back up to the cabin. I talked him into a gutter guard for the ONE strip of gutter we have that funnels rainwater into the rain barrel. It gets full of sticks and debris and those stupid whirly-gigs from the Maple tree. He’s stealing my truck to head back North because neither of his are fixed yet and the skid steer is still in Madison for repairs. I have my 2001 VW Golf to drive.
