Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Thomas, not fair that you have so many things at once...leaving your job, hurting your foot, and having to give up the smooth cigars all in the same month.

As they say "It keeps the blood thin"
Cigar...gonner take more than month or so.

Severe thunderstorms. We got home just in time and it started just as we walked in the door. More than 2 inches so far. Lost power a couple of times, backup for PC worked

Lots oks like the rain should be coming it fairly soon. So better wrap up anything that’s not tied down.

Hope the wet weather doesn't affect Mrs. plans for the evening.

Got 1+" of rain, down to 74 now.
A few branches down.
Didn't even fill the trenches or swales.
Nice that it cooled everything off.
Could have done without the phone alerting me to Armageddon 3 times today so far.

62° now, dew point hanging around 60°. We are seeing some light (much needed) rain now, 0.35” so far today brings this months total so far to 1.32”. Supposed to see 0.75 - 1.0” over night, fingers crossed!

Took my sister out for a birthday breakfast yesterday, had a good pig out, roasted sweet taters topped with scrambled eggs, bacon and sliced avocado with some fresh strawberries and blueberries on the side and a large ice coffee to wash it down. Hit the spot on a 90° morning. The only thing out of place was our sister who passed in January miss her dearly.

Not much to post about, pick up sticks after it’s windy, water garden daily, weed when the back and knees allow and just enjoy spending time with the Mrs.

Prayers for all
Enjoy your evening

67.1F and mostly cloudy @ 20:00, all the rain has moved off to the south.

We ended up with around 1.5” total today.

Got recruited into KP duty prepping the ingredients for ham and bean soup first thing.

Once I got that in the crockpot and cooking, I started on prepping the summer squash for the freezer.

Got 6 lbs sliced, blanched, cooled, and vacuum-sealed in 1 lb bags. Was almost all yellow squash except for one bag which was a mix of yellow and zucchini. Cut up some onions and put some of that in the bags as well.

Also shredded 2 lbs of zucchini for zucchini bread and bagged and sealed that in 1 lb bags.

Ran down to the vegetable market just before they closed and picked up a head of lettuce and a bunch of fresh dill for the pickles.

Also picked up a loaf of brown “Breakfast Bread” from Ideal Bakery that they carry that has all sorts of goodies in it.

Woman toasted a piece and approves …

She made cornbread to go with the soup.

Doe and 3 white spot fawns came through earlier in the day and limited themselves to browsing the hosta mostly.

Stayed out of the garden at any rate.

There were 3 or 4 does and 7 white spot fawns out around the bird feeders the other day.

Might take a stab at the pickles later.

Enjoy your evening.
