We bought some from a local farm stand today, they did look pretty rough. I think the heat and lack of rain attractted all the bugs to the garden plants.

My tomato plants have been very unhappy all season. I have yet to eat a good tasting tomato anywhere. But the cool weather crops have been doing pretty well.

69F. Raining quite heavy. Doppler says we got about 1" so far and it looks like we could get 1.5 to 2" before the storm is over. NWS radar image loop of Storm Total Precipitation from Des Moines, IA
NWS radar image loop of Base Reflectivity from Des Moines, IA

Poured all the water from the dog bowl to a measuring cup and calculated how much rain we got. My calculation came up 1.39". Neighbor across the road measured 1.1" in his rain gage and another neighbor little distance down the road measured 2" in his rain gage. Quite a variation within half mile.

Good Morning. 78 going to the mid 90s. The VFD fundraiser yesterday was a success. Our little community consisting of a fire station. a church, and a beer joint pulled off a successful fund raising event for our fire department yesterday. The cow field had kids games, competition horseshoes, washers, volleyball, a band, a country store, an auction and served a fried fish meal to 1250 people!

No POPCORN?

Good Morning All.

It was 67 when I got up at 0500, Coffee is good today, I did not sleep well. Woke up at 0215 and struggled to go back to sleep, then had weird dreams and woke up tired...

Need to check the weather and determine what I'm doing today. Got a Dr appt at 0800 and then wife and girls have dentist at 0900 so I will go get the baby and she and I will go shopping at tractor supply and harbor freight I think (I want one of those propane weed burners).

Be well all!
