Last week brought cool temps and more rain to Central Missouri. Wound up with 2.5” for the week. Saved me from watering for another week.
Cukes and summer squash are running us out. Tomatoes are blooming again with the cooler weather. Sweet corn is starting to fill out the ears.
I spent most of Saturday doing chores. Mowed around the bait pond and the fencerows in the back pasture, and started moving the dirt pile that was left from digging that pond up to the house where I’ll use it to complete the finish grade on the front yard pond dam. Cut up a dead limb that fell out of a piss elm tree and landed on the dry lot fence. Luckily no damage to the fence. I need to drop what’s left of that tree and clean it up. Once that’s done I can move the chicken house to its permanent home and build a new section of fence to close off what will become the chicken yard from the dry lot.

‘P*ss Elm’ cracked me up, LOL!
Beau is currently working on a fencing project for a neighbor. His cows have been ‘wandering’ onto land that we use for our local gun range! Granted, everyone that uses it IS a Farmer and probably would NOT shoot if there was a cow in their sights - but better to be safe than sorry! ;)
