It started to snow about an hour ago. Real fine stuff. It looks like we are going to get what was forecast.

Long day, and glad to be home!

On the way home, I thought I'd stop at Yankee Candle (Deerefield MA) to pick up something for my wife and stepdaughter. Neat place! We'll go back and do more exploring. It had been a long day and I was getting a bit tired (still had 100 miles to go before I got home), so I picked up a couple candle, a wind chime (I love wind chimes) and a couple other odds and ends.

Going to be an early night for this ol' boy!!

I was on my feet for 8 hours today, most of that planting. Last five hours was pushing a Earthway seeder up and down those rows. And then raking them all by hand since the seeder didn't get the seeds low enough consistently; I'd find the seed on top. In this soft soil, some you can just push in with your finger but I wound up doing quite a bit of raking today. Got all the non GMO corn planted. Still have two pounds of corn to go, maybe do that next week. They predict a pretty severe thunderstorm here tomorrow afternoon and I have visions of all my corn washing away so glad I took the time to get some extra soil on top. Unlike my beets and carrots which totally washed away three weeks ago. I reordered a few more packages of beets and carrots, but not as much as before. When I plant them I guess I'll have to put straw down on top for the first week.

Chatted with head of Food Bank, made an appt to go see them tomorrow along with my three one gallons ziploc bags of pak choy.
Carnage in the garden.
It's going to be brutal, off go their heads. And everything else too!
I probably have about 150-175 of the pak choy and an unimpressive 49 traditional cabbages.

I planted another tray of "fancy beans" today and cheated with a few tomato plants from the feed store.
Normally I don't grow cherry tomatoes but they had a dark variety I wanted to try. Most of the tomatoes I'm growing, or attempting to grow,
are the darker varieties.

Also flung 400 pounds of triple 10 on the corn fields and my neighbor's personal garden area, which I had already tilled.
Then had to clean and air blast dry the flinger.

no wonder I'm tired... time for a nap before dinner.

Hard work makes you tired but makes you feel good at the same time, yes? Reading your 10.10.10 comment reminds me you were looking for a better price...saw it at Walmart yesterday for $9.92 for 40lbs.

I remember when Yankee Candle opened a store in Williamsburg...went inside and saw they had a room where they made real snow fall from the ceiling.

The guy who started Yankee Candle started off in a garage near Holyoke. I met him back then...... A nice guy with to me a "strange concept." Obviously his "concept" worked. He treated his employees really well. You should have seen his sports car museum.

Roy- Berkshire Brewing Company is nearby and is an internationally recognized brewery for many of their beer/ale styles...... Don't go there. .

There are far too many microbreweries around here due to the water quality (pH, minerals, ?). Some of the scummiest (Mill) water has some of the best combination of pH and water contents.

Dinner is mostly used in the South of this country for the evening meal. There they call their mid-day meal "lunch".

Those names may be recognised by the rest of us, however people raised in the North have different names for our meals. Our "dinner" is eaten mid-day and our evening meal is called "tea" (regardless of what you drink). A meal or snack eaten late in the evening is a supper.

Both North & South agree that the first meal of the day is called breakfast and few things are tastier (or artery clogging ?) than a "Full English Breakfast".

OK, so when I was a kid, and believe me, we lived in the South South, we called lunch dinner and late meal supper. I too, always thought English tea was mid afternoon. Kind of a pick-me-up.

Weather is overcast and cool, but warming through the day.

Ellen just sent me a link to Humble Pie’s 30 Days In The Hole! I need clarification.

That was one of my favorite songs way back when.

After a thorough study, I ended up buying a Mantis tiller with the Honda engine. I kept hearing about the newer 2 strokes having trouble starting after sitting for a while. Even the Stihl and Echo. I'm not sure about the handle bar ergonomics yet. It has plenty of power from the 25cc/1.5 cu inch engine. It likes to hop and gets into a resonant hopping mode...Maybe I need more practice. The tines can be reverse mounted for more aggressive action.

Good evening all. 66F for the start, windy, overcast. Breaks in the overcast mid- morning, then back to solid overcast with frontal passage and clearing mid afternoon. Wind slowed a bit during frontal passage, then picked up again. High temp was 78F at noon and has been dropping balance of the day. Today was cleaning lady day which means clean up so she can clean . Then a bike ride in the wind, and some consulting at work, then take doggie ( dog sitting for stepdaughter) for walk, he ran almost the entire way (unusual for him typically just run after squirels and other "vermin").
