Picked a few more crowder peas, the new cucumber vine is full of blossoms, hopefully they will grow well. Pulled most of the older tomatoes as they had quit producing. Watering the fruit trees twice a day. Weather folk predicted a nice rain yesterday, didn't happen, got cloudy, nice cool wind, the ran was wasted on Houston city, they had floods again, Ma Nature must abhor large, giant, nasty, cities. We seldom go into Houston proper, no need, lots of malls around here. we had a bit of rain yesterday. i watered the veggie gardens earlier that morning. i still asked Ma to water the trees we transplanted because it has been so hot. i don't think the rains are enough. they look good so far. made another five quarts of dill pickles yesterday and Ma put some cucumbers and sliced onions and mayo in the fridge so i can have them. our local grocery store is fairly high priced so we don't often go there for anything other than milk or a few other things. once or twice a month we have to do bulk purchases for Ma's cooking sprees and we stock up on our staples when we're out. it is a bit of a drive, but our favorite Chinese place is over that ways too. the storm that went through yesterday was pretty strong north of us, flash flood warnings in a few places. we had enough rain to call it rain instead of a sprinkle, but i was envious of the places up there that got a good soaking. songbird Well, we're currently getting sporadic sprinkles of rain, lots of thunder, a little lightning, and damned little rain. I reckon we will still have to water the gardens and the fruit trees this afternoon if the rain gods fail us again. At least the temperature dropped a bit. Miss Tilly Dawg Shirley is doing better, the antibiotics helped and the other two drugs she's on are helping too. We were really worried about her until we changed vets, the new one is much better than the old one so we're happy again. George |
