Just came in from watchingfireflies! 81F so not too bad.

There was a lot of rain in the evening yesterday and more is coming, probably to you as well. Saves on watering!

Fireflies and mockingbirds are a couple of the few things I miss. Of course I am compensated by geese, cranes, fox, moose, and other delights.

Not for me. I'm growing under a roof this year so no rain. I'm about ready to put what little bit of gutter I have on the tunnel and run it into an IBC tank.

I had planned to stop by the creek for water on the way home from work, but it's raining. Tunnel tank is getting low. I'm going to head to the shed here shortly and reduce the watering schedule from three times a day to one. Seeded bed has almost been too wet and it looks like cloudy weather through the weekend so there won't be much sun to bake it dry. Hopefully it won't be raining at 4pm tomorrow or Monday when I come by the creek after work.

Swapping to weekend shift gave me a little pay bump; $100/wk - $400/mth (half my bills). My review is still in limbo but when it's complete, I should get another bump. This paycheck will do vehicle ins/reg renewals but in two weeks, I can spend on homestead stuff, and myself.
