Heat broke at 2am with a massive clap of thunder. The rains came. At 9am we are at 4.2 inches and still counting!

I mean Come On!
Yikes! We get storms today. Supposedly around 3/4", but they have been wildly off on precipitation amounts before.
Chickens are now at fair, so they will likely greatly appreciate the break in the heat. Happy that their cages are all in shady areas - none are in full sun at any point. The fair staff do a good job of shading the animals, however, sometimes a cage or part of a cage is in full sun for a short period of time, which is what happened last year. The BJG is pretty big, so had to be moved to a larger cage in another area bc he did not fit into the regular chicken cages. Dropped off my culinary submissions this morning - they go in an open air building, which means about 95F!!! Caramels were one item I submitted...in 95F heat they will be judged (LOL).
Garden looks good. as
@Wee Farmer Sarah has experienced, my pole beans are just growing, no flowers yet (I thought I had seen some, but I think it was just the growing tips I must have mistaken for buds never having grown pole beans before). The bush beans (nearly all are for drying for soup purposes) are coming along nicely - pods look full, and some are taking on colors, as they should.
Any idea as to what this is? I think it is a melon, spouse though maybe squash. It was a volunteer plant in the compost bin that we let grow. There is some white powder on it from when I dusted the plants due to cucumber beetles.
