Good morning!!!!

84F and sunny @ 11:30, DP 57F, HU 38%, "feels like" temp 85F. Calling for a high of 90F and humidity will be building throughout the day.

Got hopper feeder refilled first thing yesterday, also seed scattered for the ground feeders.

Back and front lawns mowed, still need to catch the sides.

Another 3 gallons of glyphosate applied to various areas.

Spotted another groundhog out on the east side lawn heading over to the barn just after noon. Couldn't get a shot off before it disappeared.

Then spotted one by the bird feeders when I came in from mowing late yesterday afternoon. It had disappeared by the time I got out there with the shotgun.

Came back inside and noticed it had apparently moved to the backyard so I headed for the bedroom and got the screen removed and the window open without spooking it and managed to get off a shot.

Apparently winged it as it was having a hard time making it back to one of the burrow entrances. Possibly mortal, will know for sure if it starts stinking.

Chances of scattered thunderstorms starting tomorrow every day running through Saturday.

We are currently short 2.75" of rainfall so a little rain would be great.

Fortunately that is not as bad as the surrounding areas where they are down almost double that.

Agenda for today:

Water two rows of tomato plants with the soaker hoses.

Get Water Buffalo refilled.

Removed the one cage that has a top on it from the zucchini plant.

Mix up more glyphosate, finish refilling the one empty sprayer.

Try and find some tasks in the shade to do.

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

69°F and .04 inches rain.

Have to add copper strips to my hydroponic legs to deter slugs. They carry rat lung disease here, not a good thing. Two copper strips each leg will keep them from the plant area. Most concerning are leafy types like lettuce.

Really enjoyed my calamari and scallops yesterday. Sophie doesn’t like either.

Invited to a friends for a pot roast dinner tonight. Two sweet ladies, Mom (90s) and daughter we see a few times a year. One of those strange things, they lived in same NJ town as Sophie and Kelly was in Sophie’s brothers class. The other guest tonight will be our friend in common that made the connection about 10 years ago.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I love calamari sliced thin and fried! I'm sitting here right now and just finished off a plate of big boiled shrimp I picked up yesterday!
