We were going to the fireworks display at the nearby stadium. It's been raining steady since last night. It was to being at 9:00. At 8:30 it was still sprinkling. We decided not to go. At 8:50 it stopped raining for the first time since last night. No regrets about our decision. We're not hearing too many fireworks from the neighbors either. I guess we're not the only ones that decided to forego the festivities.

The little dove died. I'm not sure if it was injured internally, OR if I was hugely mistaken about it's age, and didn't provide for it as well as I would have, had I known it was so much younger. According to the things I read, I don't think I was too far off regarding it's age, but this is the first Dove I've ever tried to deal with, so it's possible. I did make "crop milk" and feed it, which is a first for me. It began going downhill yesterday, so it could just as easily have sustained internal injuries that were not readily visible.

It does happen with little birds like that!

It was good that you tried.

I dug my garlic and it's drying on the porch. 59 bulbs.

I dug one hill of flowering potato plant. 4 tiny tubers.

Happy Fourth, everyone! Be safe and enjoy the day!
