[oldngray]

Off to bed again!

[gulfcoast6]

Good morning. I will finish cutting the place here today, almost finished yesterday but had to back off for the docs appointment. Se still don't know what that storm is going to do, hope it turns before it gets to Mississippi.

[oldngray]

Thanks IG, appreciate that.

Real tired now, going to lie down.

[gulfcoast6]

Good morning. Have you all gotten any rain yet? How is the corn crop.

[lysie]

Good morning.

Good morning, Dawn Patrol.

Powerful prayers coming form this neck of the woods, ong!

Nice breakfast, kassie. Thanks!

How is daughterchild doing, kay?

[lysie]

Good morning.

[Carolinamom]

I woke the dogs up this morning! The way I figure it is that turn about is fair play. 'Back in a minute. Where's that coffee pot, kassie? LOL

Listening to Steve Malzburg, who is subbing for Bill Bennett.

Media is now belly aching about the amount of gas President Bush uses.

We had some rain last week. The corn is still there.

Corn yeilds will not be as good as they were last year. There are some good fields, some bad fields, and some horrible fields. No excellent fields.

The corn is beginning to dry and harvest will begin in a couple of weeks. The men got our big combine out of the shed earlier this week and are giving it the annual "Once Over"

[lysie]

Well, I bet he doesn't skip out of a restaurant without paying the bill or giving a tip like they who will not me mentioned did.

Cripes, they are desperate, aren't they?

[lysie]

I noticed a few days ago...we have one maple tree starting to change colors. I bet it has something to do with the near drought situation.

[gulfcoast6]

I can well remember that when my cousin had his cotton plantation he would live each day by the weather. Cotton, corn, does not matter, weather is everything to ya'll.

I've been watching the Maples. I've identified several that probably won't last but a couple more years.

The little town North of us where I do business has lost several Maples in the past 10 years. From watching them, I've sort of got a system down to determine which trees will not last much longer.

Trees that 'turn' much earlier than the other Maples don't have many years left, according to my theory.

There are 2 more trees in this little town that have turned early this year. My guess is they'll be dead as a door nail within 5 years.

The Joseph's Coat in my flower bed is starting to turn. I'm guessing it has to do with the length of daylight. I'm going to try to bring some in and winter it over. It's quite difficult to find in the garden centers and would make a lovely display with the Mums and asters if you had enough of it.

[kassie]

Good morning everyone.

[lysie]

And why are you up this early after cooking that great breakfast so early for us? ;-)

Good morning, kassie.

Let me pour you a cup.

[Iowa Granny]

Good Morning Sweetie. Still hot down there?

[lysie]

Sunflowers..gone...green beans which normally will yield a second growth..gone..tomatoes...early...watermelon and canteloupe.. early...

Strange growing season this year.

[Iowa Granny]

Strange growning season, indeed.

My Big Boy tomatoes are the size of golf balls.
