First the good - - -
Aah yes the peach crop is good. Very very good.
The bad -
Typically corn isn’t supposed to be drying up at this time of year. Neighboring fields are much worse, but this is just south of our house.
Other bad -
Lest you fail to recognize this spot, it’s the creek where in past summers we have spent many wonderful hours.
There is very very little water flowing here. Without rain soon, we might have no creek. Which hasn’t happened since 1988. And which means we will be hauling water to the nine pregnant cows which currently drink from this creek.
Dave’s lake is down too.
The shoreline is growing, and once-covered peninsulas are showing up again.
The dark dirt around the edge was once covered with water.
The ugly - - -
Yep, the watermelon are pretty ugly. Sorry Carmen, I guess I can’t teach you how to grow watermelon! The debate rages – did they not get enough water, or was it something else? We suspect something else, because these muskmelon continue to do ok, green and growing,
And Grandpa’s pumpkins are very green and thriving!
Soooo - -
the jury’s out on the watermelon. They are not ripe, but vines are drying like crazy. Chickenfeed, that’s what it is
(the unripe watermelon, that is).
Other - - -
House progress continues.
In preparation for trusses going up – -
Activity at Topsoil Mountain.
Messes everywhere.
That means progress!!!
Good night!
