we had another storm at 7 PM last night.
it rained very hard for 40 minutes without a let up.
up to now we haven't had many mosquitoes. but with
the rain I bet they will hatch a lot.

Time to go tip over all buckets, etc.

Same one passed here about 6 hours later, was worse north of me.
Minor flooding in chicken run but garage stayed dry.

There was a thunderstorm nearby last night, but it mostly missed us. The thunder was loud, and woke me from my nap! I got up and went to close up the back of my truck, just in case. Only got a sprinkle here. Too bad, the plants could use some rain.

The Historic Site's event is over and the reenactors are packing up so it can rain here now.

We don't need it as bad as some of you, but it's time.

Last night i covered forage seed in the original chicken yard with bedding. Just in one area, but
this time i used some fesque seed for shady areas. Also pulled a bunch of weeds and threw them in for the animals. And i started roughing out another pasture for the goats. Cutting down small trees, cutting up tree trunks left on the ground. I am going to need the chain saw for most of those. I started putting in posts, but it felt like 84° at that point. So i came inside to cool off.

that's right, don't overdo it. the work will still
be there, even if you aren't ..

My phone is acting up, so if i disappear for a while, i am busy cursing and wondering how a phone can possibly cost that much!
