And finally, here is a new CH for us to fill.

Yes, I read that about the bathroom facilities, or lack there of in the fields.
Sad really.

All told for rain we got 1-1/10 inch of rain yesterday. As I said, we got.enough that I did not have.to.water last night, so yay.

That's great, it rained heavy here all night as well. It was greatly needed. Thanks for sharing. 😉

Just got back from the local grocery store. $12 for a gallon of milk is just wrong.

G!ad we could all share. So hopeful your container also has more water in it.

Gee..that is a lot for a gallon of milk. And here I was complaining about paying around d $6.50 a gallon. Oh my !!

EWWWWWWW I hadn't heard that about the lettuce. Glad for my farmers market.

Here WalMart brand milk is $2.57 a gallon. I can't imagine paying 12.00.

I have a friend who is at an airshow in Oshgosh Wisconsin and it's being affected by the smoke coming from Canada.

Well if you are talking going to say Dollar General or Wal-Mart my milk is around $4.57 a gallon. However at the local bass station/convenience store in was $6.47

But either way, I am very impressed that you can buy milk so cheaply. Yay for you, Sheri.

Tell your friend that we are sorry for the smoke. Canada just sent their air force to rescue some YMCA campers in Minnesota since we are closer, they are having fire trouble as well. I think New York is getting our smoke from the Ontario fires as well.

I was watching the news where Trump said he was going to add tariffs to us for our smoke crossing the border. I told DH, I wonder if we can tariff him back for tornadoes. I know talking politics is a touchy subject but good gosh, the man is ridiculous.

$2.57 for a gallon of milk? GG would be looking to move to your area. She could drink a gallon a day if we left her.

Today I bought 1/2 gallon lactaid milk for $ 4.48, it's a brand name though, and I only get 1/2 a gallon at a time but the expiration date isn't until September 9th. That always amazes me.

I think Trump made that comment tongue in cheek and the news media, that hates him, ran with it. Tornados are so scary. I may have told you this already - Darbi's husbands house was destroyed by a tornado about 5 years ago and they were home. There are a lot of tornados in Mississippi close to where Ginger lives. Her town is sort of dipped down into the Delta so it seems the tornados go over them. Anyway, today the sky in WI is clear enough for the show. It lasts until the 26th so hopefully they will die down or the wind will shift which will be sad for someone else.

Today at Wal-Mart I paid $4.16 for a gallon of Great Value milk. Thing is I think the half gallon was the same price ( strange, isn't that ?). in comparison I think Lactaid is cheap at the price you got it for. I a!so paid $7.47 for pound of ground d beef. I think I pay around $3.98 at the meat market I go to.

That's crazy with the price difference.

why yes. yes it is !

Pouring rain today and it is a welcome sight. There are no forest fires in our province at the moment.

I have blossoms on my bush beans. 😋

Excited about your blossoms. Hope the neighbors chickens don't find out and come eat them. (happened to me one year )

My friend in Wisconsin said the smoke has died down so maybe the fires are more under control. One can only hope.

The only chickens are my own but they are far enough off my property that they do not roam in my yard.

Jeepers, we seen on the news that New York is flooded in areas. ☹️ The weather is crazy.

Glad for your rain, Sunny. I hope your container fills back up. Seems it is feast or famine doesn't it ?
Sheri, happy for your friend. Hopefully the rains are helping everyone.

yay for bean blossoms too Sunny. I hope you get a big/nice harvest.

Supposed to be cooler here today and the next few days. I sure hope it is

We are under thunderstorm warnings for this evening. It cooled down but more heat starting tomorrow for the week.

How are your gardens growing?

We had them last evening. Luckily we only wound up with thunder and 8/10 inch of rain.

My gardens..The blackberries are done. I might have gotten 1-1/2 gallons berries, but at least we got a few crisps and some fresh berries to eat. My large tomatoes are either splitting or going rotten before I can pick them. My larger cherry tomatoes are doing about the same but at least we are getting a few of them to eat. The good news is my yellow sun sugar cherry tomatoes are doing really well. And my potatoes are about ready to dig up. As a matter of fact we are eating a few of them tonight.

My onions and my lettuce are both long gone. I will be planting some lettuce again this fall though.
