Coffee anyone ?

[promiseacres]

Coffee is on.
Need to get moving chores and weeding. Garden is growing well, did get 1/4" of rain finally over the weekend... but a large portion of the garden was watered the entire day Friday as we forgother to turn it off before leaving to camp. But our chore people turned it off. Didn't hurt the plants, we haven't had rain for 3 weeks. Hoping to get some this week.
Meatpen bunnies are growing well. Need to get more bunnies tattoed and advertised. We do have 2 sold and leaving Friday.

Thanks for the coffee. It’s raining here! Our ground is powder, it’s so dry. Thrilled to have rain! Lightening struck real close with a big boom. After it stops I’ll go walk the fence to make sure that no tree is on the fence. No working outside this morning!

Good morning all I had NO rain fall here yesterday!! Was light the day before so I am hopeful that I can disc the garden again. For sure I will cut the grass. Of course, this 48 hr "dry spell" will end later today, they say.

Coffee is getting me set on "go". It's going to low 90s today. SWEATing already! 77 now. Wish me luck in the garden because rain coming back until Sat.

Coffee's good! Thanks! I should be gone to work, clients coming in and there are still final things up by the house that need taken care of. I'm rebelling, just want to linger over my coffee for a few first.
Sunshine all day yesterday and had a fantastic ride on Syringa in the afternoon! Have a good day everyone!

You know what? He liked it so much that he kept it. He brought me a brand new one! I already cut down 2 trees!

You can't share a chainsaw?

with number 8 ?

I THINK it is #9!

It’s raining here! Our ground is powder, it’s so dry.

Really dry here too, and hot (at least for us, 90°F and humidity is just not tolerable). Haven't had rain for at least a week, might get a paltry 1/4" Wed.

I'll share!!!!!!!! I have, too much, too often, too everyday. Yes, it rained again today! Came up FAST, hard and heavy winds. A little T-storm.....thunder & lighting came along. So fast I got caught in it letting goats in barn. Stood there a while, finally went in. Soaked, naturally.

Of course, I did disc ........ then RAIN 5 hours later. When I was working it was sunshine, blue skies, hot temps. Yeah, a mess now.

Guess I need to stop whining -- it's only my veggie garden --- the local farmers are in trouble. Corn has a while, as do P-nuts & soybeans are just coming up good.

“Normally farmers are cutting wheat starting in the first week of June,” said Robert Harper, grain division manager for Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. “It’s just so far behind, and to get a week of 60-degree weather and rain in the middle of June when the wheat needs to dry down to 13% moisture, it’s unprecedented. So, everyone’s sitting and waiting.”

Of course, the quality will suffer -- not to mention getting equipment in & out of those wet fields. Our weather has been unusual!

Sorry ya having "slop" to deal with @Mini Horses ....the rain after ya disc will keep ya from having to "bust clods"....make a drag to pull behind ya with some extra fencing and a railroad tie....chainlink if ya have it is the best....attach to hitch with a chain or rope....works like a harrow.....may save ya some time and body energy....

We got a tiny amount of sky spit around 8 PM as I finished watering. There was a T-storm to the east of us. There is a chance of rain starting mid afternoon tomorrow.

Wow, everyone else is getting all our rain. We've had about 2 storms all summer and are on "water restriction". DH mowed the grass for the first time since probably last August about two weeks ago, and we're sort of scorched now.

Yesterday half of town got a little rain, the other half stayed parched. Weird.
