We had to get finger printed as part of the background check to get a Handgun Carry Permit. Our South Carolina permits became invalid when we switched to Tennessee drivers licenses.

When I was coming up the driveway this afternoon I saw a small fox on the slope by the drive. We called to let the neighbor know that what we figured was a coon is probably a fox instead. Turns out they have already lost 4 ducks.

Sadly, if there is tax money to be had from development, it will happen.

The area east of Franklin is like ours. They considered it but abandoned the idea since it made it a complete loss. Of course that could change at any time.

I hope it doesn't change!

As long as they go around your valley, you're good. But the traffic is nutso now, can't imagine what it will be with more development.

Worse! It was bad in So. Cal when I moved 40 years ago. Substantially worse now.

In the almost 6 years we have owned our place the area around Franklin has increased its population by over 30%.
We have had non-stop rain all day so I'm going to pull the mower deck from the riding mower and replace the belt that broke yesterday. I have a new set of blades so they will get replaced while the deck is off.
I have a flat of yellow squash that is getting almost too large to plant with damaging the plants so we'll see how well that goes. I have a flat of okra that just popped the surface but it will be a couple of weeks before they go into the ground. I have always grown Clemson Spineless Okra and doing some this year also but I have around 20 plants started from Park Seed that I got back in 2016 and never tried from a brand called Bulldog. They are supposed to be a red pod that grows on a smaller plant than the Clemson. They are also supposed to last better on the plant without getting hard like the Clemson so I'm hoping for good things. I was reading the see saver distance requirements to avoid cross pollination in okra and since it says a half mile or more, I won't be saving any seed this year.

It finally quit raining for a spell but is due to start up again. One advantage to all this rain is I didn't have to fill any water troughs today. Yesterday I hauled more than 40 gallons of water out there.
