Good Morning
75° cloudy, high of 85 and going to partly cloudy.

Yesterday was a nice day, hot but plenty of shade available, summer fest ran smoothly, having two stages really made the changeovers seamless.
I managed to mow with the Lazer around the house before I left.

Hopefully today I’ll put the Progressive mower to work. Oldest son wants us to go to brunch either family this morning, Davis weather station needs a new battery, I need to unload my car from yesterday, and I’m sure the list will grow before bedtime.

Morning all, 78 going to 86 and cloudy now.
Weather was perfect if not a little hot for the graduation party. Had at least 50 people, lots of kids running around and after most of the adults moved to the main field, they took over the pool and had a good time.
Food truck and Hawaiian ice truck were well received.
At one point my son and his friends dragged out drums and amps and played a few songs.

Got some of the worst cleaned up last night so we didn't get a critter attack.
Today we'll put away tables at leisure and fold up and put away the rest.
Having the gorilla cart is so great, can load it up and stock the bar.
Bring it back, load ice and fill the coolers.

Son was really happy and everything went to plan. Even some of my sons friends parents showed up, so that was nice.

Our prayers for your drummers family Paul.


Be well,

on closer inspection that is a motor driven horse pulled sickle bar.
with hydraulics apparently.
He was just trying to get the last bit in the corner, my timing was good.
they usually don't like their picture getting taken
but I waved at him and he waved back

I've had/restored/sold several old cars over the years. I picked up this '65 Ford F100 the other day. It needs some TLC, but it's in pretty solid shape. My daughter wants it restored and painted mint green or black. I'm out in the country and on gravel, so it'll get made reliable and comfy and the "old farm truck" look is what it'll be. I kinda like the tan/rust patina. so will do a "Roadworthy Rescues" treatment. Has a swapped 302 and automatic trans with power steering. It runs and drove off the trailer (after I put an ignition switch in).

80F and mostly cloudy @ 11:00, calling for a high of 85F for the day. 50% chance of a shower or thunderstorm.

Rain all around us yesterday, some of it heavy ... but never materialized here beyond a couple of drops.

It did cool off considerably with all the cloudiness, down into the low to mid 80's.

Lots of opportunities for rain in the Ten Day, sure hope we get some of it.

After eating yesterday I went back out and got all the peppers, eggplants, okra, and kohlrabi watered and am now glad I did ... since it didn't rain.

Came in about the time it was looking like it was going to pour and spent the rest of the day getting some payments scheduled meds doled out for the coming week and then spent the evening watching a couple movies on Prime.

Woman worked inside on laundry and general housecleaning. Just announced She is heading outside now (due to cooler temps) ... probably going to pick some blueberries ... which could mean a delicious desert later ...

Agenda for today:

Haul off pulled weeds and debris to compost pile.

Bring down woodchips for mulching.

Get wax bush beans planted ... along with the last zucchini and the last 2 winter squash.

Probably run the soaker hose on the tomatoes.

Get the winter squash and pumpkins watered.

More weaving plants into trellises.

Beyond that see what else comes up.

Squash plants have really greened up since being fed:

Little zucchini was about 4" long yesterday ... probably be a foot long today ... lol:

Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday ... (y)

68°F and .42 inches of rain light drizzle throughout the day made for an inside day

We missed it. After we were in town this huge banyan tree uprooted

Otherwise a quiet day here

No big plans for the day. Piddle around. Maybe see why Mule is acting up again.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
