Well, Happy Canada day ! Storms are headed this way as well With large hail. If it does come like they say, I have to wonder if I will have any flowers or plants at the end. Speaking of plants, my rabbits (yes I have wild rabbits) thought they might like to eat my zinnias and then they also tried eating my Bee Balm. It is a good thing they are so cute.

Stay safe. I have not seen wild rabbits here in so many years, I did have to 'deal with' a snake the other day though. I hope the rabbits do not visit your veggie garden area. More rain for today. If and when it ever stops....everyone will be out on their lawn mowers.

They already have been. They are off parts of 2 tomato plants and completely destroyed my one volunteer tomato plant. But the tomatoes are too big now for them to bother with.
We have 50% chance of rain and storms today. I bet it does not happen. If it does not, I will be watering and picking blackberries tonight.

Sorry for the strawberries. Can you dig them up and put them in pots, and say keep them in a shed until the rains let up ? I hate to see you lose all of your plants.

The rain is rotting my strawberries. I have never seen blackberry plants for sale here. The plants will live, it is the berries themselves from getting too much rain. It is ridiculous....an hour from me they have had landslides from the rain, what a mess. I am going out this afternoon in DH's raincoat and weeding whether I look foolish or not.

Bestofour, people are not having children. The families were groups of 3 to 5 when I was a child, now most have one, or none. We went a whole night without rain, I plan to head out to cut some of the lawn before it starts again at lunch. The humidity has everyones hair in curls here.

I don't blame you
When we were in triple digits I did as little as possible. Why, we even ate cold meals.

Yup, I had made cold salads the day before so we ate leftovers yesterday. It is supposed to be the same temps for today but with thunderstorms...what a strange Summer. I picked a gallon of strawberries from my garden, time to make a batch of strawberry pectin jam.

Colt and I went to Nashville, TN for the 4th of July. We had such fun. Now he's gone home and I have a sad face .
So very hot here. I'm glad I can stay inside out of the heat.
Sunny I used to make strawberry freezer jam.

You should set up a tote to catch your water from your eavestroughs. I know those fancy water barrels are expensive but any tote would do if you put it under. I just gave the fridge a good cleaning. "Somebody" spilled something yesterday in it at Grandboy's b-day....and never let me know. Jeepers, a quick one minute wipe would save over an hour of taking it all out. My red potatoes are setting blooms.

So glad for your blooming potatoes. I hope you get alot ! Sorry about the " mess in the fridge. Don't you just hate it when strangers break into your house and make messes? LOL Rod one time ordered me a rain barrel, but it never showed up. Good news is he got his money back.. And once I even got close to 8 gallons of rain water from a clogged gutter. If I think of it soon enough I put other buckets out to catch water.

So sorry for all your rain, Sunny. It is a shame you can't bottle it up and sell it to all of us. We would be happy and I am sure you would make a fortune. Sheri, you have another message.

We are supposed to have heavy East winds with no rain until supper time, I will be outside all day mowing and weeding. Everyone's yards look terrible...no one can keep up. They were talking on the news how it is impossible to find a dehumidifier anywhere in stores....last year it was air conditioners.
There was supposed to be a local fair this weekend, I hope we can be spared one dry day...I really want to go.

Good morning.
I hope you get to go to the fair.
It is overcast here today and wet. I have a Drs. Appt. I really hope there are no storms while I am out.
I wish you all a good day.

Yes, that is the thing about grass, it always grows back (sorry) Water wise it is that way in the U.S. as well. SMH Well so much for many days of rain here. Night before last we got 2/10 of rain over night and that is all since. The rain keeps going around us. I guess spaghetti is on the menu for tonight.

Mmm I love spaghetti. I need to make a batch of sauce...if I can get a cooler day. My little air conditioner has a hard time to keep up but it is better than none. I need to make a trip for milk and fruit/veggies later....and ice-cream.

I ate some watermelon yesterday. Refreshing.
We've had rain lately and my garden is doing well - fighting the squash bugs though.
