Southern Wisconsin weighing in: I’ll take this temporary heat - we needed to dry out, too! 12” of rain BEYOND what was normal for June this season; it was brutal!

T-storms moving in Friday night, a cool and sunny weekend ahead.

This is the year my A/C went out, of course - but we’re surviving with fans and a small window unit up in the bedroom. I’m fine with the heat if I can sleep at night. :)

Out to finish mowing...started last night in the cool of the evening until the ‘skeeters chased me in!

Believe it or not, we've had too much rain here in NC for the gardens to do much. Tomatoes are rotting on the vine because of the damp. We've gotten a few squash, a few cukes. Maybe a double handful of cherry tomatoes, and that's about it.

Except the corn. I drove past a corn field the other night, and jeez! I bet most of it was 8' tall or better. Good year for it, good year for hay, too. Farm animals will eat well this winter.

Yes indeed, our yard looks like we're living in the tropics! Besides our perennials and annuals, we're growing cherry tomatoes, "better boy" sandwich tomatoes and "san marzano" sauce tomatoes and pablano peppers.
