thanks for hollering back. Always an honor and pleasure to meet another
garden fence neighbor. Happy knosching!

maddie enjoying the HUMIDITY!!
The handle these days is Billy. When I was William, I was much older.

I got two computers and 5 operating systems, so sometimes I'm not who I
think I am. But Jimmy, my big brother, calls me Billy, so that will work
just fine for me.

The knosching went very well, thank you very much. Tabouli, chicken
salad, cold fruit (peaches, cherries, plums, and strawberries),
mortadella, salami Toscano, pepperocini, cornichons, Kalamata olives in
brine, garlic stuffed green olives, and a seeded sour dough loaf of
bread. We settled for a cheap California chardonnay. Didn't taste like
much but no flaws and it was cold. Finished with chocolate, brandy, and
we split a bottle of stout in frount of the TV. The four cats and the
'Hounds from Hell" were circling around to see if there were any scraps
to be had but not tonight (no bones, poor kids). We listened to the
"Best of the Chieftains" while we ate on the patio, in view of the
gardens. (The Lovey-poo does the flowers.) Thank the Lord for color
vision, again.

Maddie, thanks for not showing any of the surgery pictures. We'd just
get into a gnarly gross-out competition. All jagged and purple. Charlies
been through enough lately. We needs to hold back 'til times get slow.

95 F was the official high here today, although it felt hotter and the
radio said it was the hottest day of the year, so I'm guessing 105.
Humidity is 65%. The garden looks as if it's on steroids. The "bird
house" gourd will be over the top of the trellis by morning (5" more).
It was doing and inch /hour earlier in the day. The melons are all
moving, even the midget in the shadows of the corn. The tomatoes have
put the pedal to the metal. The next to smallest has gone from 6" to 2'
in the last week. I have one depauperate "peche jaune" tomato.
Hopefully, it will get into the spirit of the moment. This is what the
garden was waiting for (Sun, heat, manure, and water). Yahoo. Here we go.

GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNING
HEAD OUT ON THE HIGHWAY
LOOKING FOR ADVENTURE

YEAH I GOT TO GO MAKE IT HAPPEN
TAKE THE WORLD IN A LOVE EMBRACE
FIRE ALL OF YOUR GUNS AT ONCE AND
