Today is cloudy and cool.  It is 67* right now…with rain showers here and there around us … nice!

Fun

Terry came in this morning and said he found stripped pinto bean pods…a sure sign we will be looking at harvest in a couple of weeks, by the third week of August for sure.

Today is Lammas Day—after Lammas Day the corn ripens as much by night as by day.  Although, I think most of the wheat harvest is done here and in the other states next to or below ours.  I am also sure that the wheat harvest is moving on up into the northern most states.  Maybe it is over for those states also, hummmm.

The last load of hay is leaving today…every bales sold (now) until third cutting.

Boy, is summer flying now.  We still need to get 3 more cords of wood, maybe 5 cords.  We used 7 cords last winter and still ran out.  It sure was a long winter.  Geez, I dread winter.

Sweet-Corn

I got all the corn up that I’m going to put up.  That is always a good feeling.

Off to do my work for the day…it’s so nice outside I don’t think weeding is going to be much of a chore.  All my seeds I planted are blooming now, sure makes me smile.

Have a good one everyone!
