58 this am going to 78 more or less. We are enjoying June Gloom. Foggy mist in the morning burns off about 12-1 pm daily. Getting a light mist at night.
This is typical to our Mediterranean pocket here. Locally it looks like there was too much rain for the wheat in general.
We are waiting on Carvana this AM. They are to bring one and take one. We bought a diesel Bettle to run around in and sold the MIL's old car. It had become a repair hog.
Hope you all have a great day.

Morning all, 60 going up to 81 and sunny.
Got some decent rain yesterday, now the grass is turning green again and may need a cut soon.

at one point after the rain it was too windy to sit outside.

Coffee grounds once used can just be mixed in as they become more neutral. I use them in many house plants and in the garden.

M7040 - hope all goes well with the daughter, waiting is tough.

RNG have fun and safe travels

May do some PW on the back deck and table the robin and babies made a mess.

Wild raspberries are starting to form.

He didn’t stay long.
I temporarily fixed my broken dishwasher spring by bending the end into a new hook.

Good morning! Low of 50°, heading towards 79°. Fire watch / red flag warning in effect. It was gusty early this morning, so probably going to continue getting more windy.

RNG, have a safe trip, enjoy some peaceful relaxation.

Kilroy, glad the HD shipment finally arrived. Never had a problem with ordering from HD.

Mostly, sorry you got hacked. The wifey has been getting 2 emails a day over the past couple of days stating "your package has been delayed due to improper 'door' address"....blah, blah... click here.....
She trashes and reports (not that it does any good).

Kyle , nice tree to look at every day. Hope the a/c repair goes well.

As far as boots go.... I used to like Redwings when they were made here. Then switched to Danner boots. They fit perfectly like a glove, just expensive. Now that I don't really need 'good' boots, I just buy the cheaper hiking boots from Big 5 sporting goods.

Being windy today, probably no mulching will happen. Might make a run into town and pick up some materials for another big planter. Also thinking of getting some metal sheet steel for sides on the trailer.
I /we need a break from bending over spreading mulch....

Everyone have a great day!

65F and sunny @ 10:30, heading up to around 79F for the day's high. 30% chance of a thunderstorm or two this afternoon, thunderstorms likely (60%) overnight.

On second cup ... which is tasting very good.

Still have not heard anything back from the Kubota dealer on the water pump ... which is very disappointing to say the least ... :(

Will give them a call here in a few.

Woman and I got outside yesterday afternoon and did some work on plantings.

Gave the largest/best Rose of Sharon a little love, it was thoroughly overgrown with weeds:

It's outgrown the 3' tall hardware cloth cage, need to replace that with something a little taller ... otherwise the deer will probably be nipping on it.

Also did some work on this volunteer apple tree, got the cage removed, some trimming done (needs more), and the weeds removed around the base. Still needs mulched:

While The Woman was working on removing the weeds around the apple tree, I did similar with the Gingko:

Need to get a cage around that one as well, otherwise it will probably get nipped down.

Cleaning underside of the MMM deck yesterday:

Still need to clean the topside and grease it ... but won't be able to get to the greasing until the B2910 is back in operation.

Today's activities will likely be confined to weeding, general planting bed clean up, and mulching ... since we are kind of dead in the water as far as the garden goes without the B2910 ... :(

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday ... (y)

Water pump in stock in Columbus, now ordered and paid for, hopefully have it in at the dealer here by noon tomorrow ... (y)

Was a choice between the normal Kubota Parts DC and the Engine Parts DC which $37 cheaper ... so that's the one we went with ... ;)

RS, I’ve had a post level like that (brand unknown) for years. So very helpful, especially with the magnets on a pipe post.

Yeah ... I figure it will come in handy for a number of projects we have in mind for the future.

Especially like the fact that is hinged in the center ... (y)
