I wonder if that is how DH and I lost weight while in Texas. We ate oatmeal or an egg for breakfast then nothing except water until dinner at around 4:30-5:30. No carbs either. We were doing lot of work on the barn so didn't miss eating since we were drinking water by the case. DH lost 22 lbs. in 4 weeks and I lost a pant size. Didn't miss food at all. We want to keep that up. Let me know how you do.
...... I would like to maybe get another row or 2 of potatoes put in, a little later on. We'll see. It worked pretty good this morning, but hoping that maybe it would rain, and I would have already had more planted, to get watered by the rain.
it is still raining..... good steady, just coming down kind of rain....
. So needed. Looks maybe an inch, from container I see out my window -- pretty good rain came down, steady. 
. 
Went out and checked the rain gauge... We got right at .8 inch of rain... and it blew so much right when the first wave came through that might have been a smidgeon more... BUT....... WOW .......
This will save the orchard grass seedlings that were nearly dead across the street. Give them a chance to get some growth and the roots to hopefully go deeper..... granted, we could still get a drought later on, but this will go SOOOOOO FAR to salvaging the hay fields and the pastures....
AND our CORN..... it was about 4" tall and really really suffering... it should shoot up from this and hopefully will really get the roots to reach deeper as the surface dries some and the moisture from this rain has soaked down through the topsoil.....
It looks like it hit most everyone around here, and a good part of VA. I think @Mini Horses didn't get much until earlier this morning, but radar showed a pretty good soaking there. Hope that @secuono got a good soaking out of it too, for her pastures.
Thank You God and Mother Nature....
Cool 65 overnight. Partly cloudy out there still, but supposed to clear off and be sunny later on.
Weird to say this, but it will be TOO WET to get in the garden today.... The good thing is that all the stuff I did get planted, including the 2 rows of potatoes yesterday morning, got a good "watering in"....
Sun is now showing over the tops of the trees.....
Maybe I should have fixed the soaker hoses sooner....
Company from up north, comes in late this afternoon... 4 generations. My mom's (and my) friend, her daughter, her daughter, and her 18 month old daughter... They will go east to the Chincoteague area for a couple days to just do the sight seeing thing... The annual pony penning there, is not until the 4th of July week, and that would be way too crowded for them... with such a little one... and costs way more for rooms etc.... they didn't want to come for that, just enjoy the beaches and the ocean. Looking forward to the visit.
Went out and let the hen out, and checked the rain gauges... will go out and check the one in the garden in a little bit... Today is supposed to be a little cooler but hotter again by the weekend... not complaining.. so thankful for the moisture....
Hoping for more, go away drought! 
Those Marguerite Henry books were wonderful! I had a set and so does my DIL1. Probably so did every horse mad little girl.
I will have to tell DS1 and DH to use the waste hay from our bales in the garden next year. I used to go to the feed store and buy runed alfalfa "cow hay" and peel off flakes to use in the garden. The benefit of spiled alfalfa is that the nitrogen really did improve the soil. I already told DH we should start saving the feed sacks to use like you do for weed control.
