Still not sure why we have the day off the same day of staying up late to celebrate our country rather than the day after so we can sleep off all that fun.

I'm with you Wolfy.

On Sunday the 9th my son will turn 30. I'm feeling really old. . . .

No matter how many times I've been in and out of Google today, the tennis player on the left always wins. Think it's rigged...

I don't like weeks that have two Mondays.

Try looking at it as two Fridays instead.

I'm an official member of the National Threshers Association!

Congratulations! (I think...)

"They also received checks for $700 from anonymous donors struck by his actions."

Did they change the policy on checks. it appears that there was a name on them or possibly a new blur font.

I love this time of the year. I'm having homegrown tomatoes, squash and zucchini for lunch today.

Roadtrip!

I guess I'm too far north. My tomatoes still look like a bunch of green ping pong balls.

As far away as possible? They are plants

We've had too much rain, heat and thus too much humidity. My veggies are not happy. I got a few nice squash before all of this went south...

My tomatoes are still green but getting lots of zucchini! I had a 3rd volunteer zucchini plant come up too!

I just ordered a Spiralizer... I hope it works the way it is supposed to...

Our tomatoes and cucumbers are hanging in there because they've got a little bit of shade protecting them, and of course the okra and beans are just as happy as they can be. The corn and zucchini, however, are not happy. The corn has turned yellow and wilted and the zucchini plants dropped all of the blooms/baby zucchini. The pepper plants never did even really get going this year.

Sorry to hear about your zucchini plants.

!

My cukes have not been happy...plenty of blooms, but only 2 cukes have been plucked. I'm not holding out much hope other than having a large vine to remove eventually.

On the good side at least you don't have to eat them

I happen to <3 grilled squash

As horse food?

The jalapenos LOVE it. The lemon tree, however, drowned. RIP lemon tree.

Breaking news... a never before seen photo of what is to be believed to be Amelia Earhart.

Not even a week later: Oops, maybe not. That photo was published years before she disappeared.

Really? Do your homework people....

Knocking wood, my lemon and lime are fine. My satsuma, however, died an ugly death from a late season freeze. The root stock decided then to grow, but that would be sour orange , so good bye little orange tree
