Sadly, there is no rain west of the Blue Ridge Mtns. All of it is, Charlottesville and east, and south is getting it... nothing here in the valley. There are flooding concerns down along the VA/NC border counties and east to the ocean.
Hurricane Beryl , downgraded to tropical storm and all that, is causing FLOODING and a mess in VT and now in Prince Edward Island in Canada... But we can't get a couple inches.
Hey @Bruce , how are you making out up there????
Oh well... do what you can... We have been mostly cloudy here, so has kept temps down. 80 today.... but the forecast is for 99 on Monday and Tuesday..... all saying possible triple digits... It is rough.
This morning, I brought the clothes in off the line that were dry, did not hang the jeans yet, they are in the machine. Doing a 2nd wash since they were pretty dirty. Will hang them tomorrow...
Put the mower in the carport and covered with the tarp in case it rained and blew in there. Guess I should have left it out and tempted the rain.... closed the car windows too...
Trip down to Hospital for DS was quiet... alot of traffic. They inject the dye and he now has a horrific headache which they told him to expect... took about an hour... I drove both ways. Just left him off and he was going home to take something and lay down for a bit. He fed hay and grain to the calves/barn lots so nothing he has to do this evening.
I took another sq bale to the 2 hols bull calves..this morning....fed a couple sections in the bunk; they are just not doing like they should be. Tomorrow I plan to move them here to the house if I can get them on the back of the ranger... they are going backwards...I will bring the hay since I put the strings back around it after taking out the sections... the other calves can eat it if I open up the barn to them all..... so they need to be here and getting "babied".... need to get them turned around and then sold I think. They just have not done anything like what the heifer twins did....the heat is not helping them I am sure... but they have had water and all in front of them....
I am going to go out and try to pull some more of the spiney weeds. I am going to put the soaker hoses on the garden. I am about ready to pick the first yellow squash... and I see alot more coming along. I want the green beans to produce... so I am going to put the soaker on the wax beans and the green beans I just planted since they could use a good start... then I guess I will put a soaker down between the potato rows I have recently planted... get them soaked at least once; once I get them mulched to the end so it will not bake the top of the soil the next few days.
So, I am headed out the door for awhile.
