This is our first year of gardening. We have a small 7'x8' garden
planted with tomatoes, peppers, carrots, radishes and green beans. We
have recently picked radishes and really got a thrill out of knowing we
grew them. It's so satisfying to see...to hold in your hands...the fruit
of your labors. How rewarding. Here are some garden pics we took a few
days ago in the backyard. http://www.geocities.com/hud_ohio/garden.html

It looks like it's going to be another scorcher of a day here in Ohio.
We have been experiencing drought. Our grass has gone dormant and turned
brown. The farmers are praying for rain. Yesterday we took a drive and
the corn is in desperate need of water. A friend of mine has already
turned his corn under.

Rain, you want rain? It's all over here...

Quite a few have died in the floods too, some areas have had a months rain
in 24hrs.

But nothing like the horror of New Orleans.
