That's where we do canning so - close enough.

Current status. A little rainy evening reading on the back porch. Pondering why the kitchen broom is laying out here.

Embarrassingly, I have to admit the Apple Watch’s ability to take phone calls is very useful. Came in very handy today

It dropped to 80 here because of the storm systems passing through. Not complaining.

Spoiler: It won't.

Thankful our real heat wave was two years ago. Everything now has been normal to unseasonably cool.

Appears after the first foot, our soil is a clay that is as hard as rock. A hard swing with a mattock wouldn't penetrate but a half an inch. It's done though, About to go back out and finish filling it in. Keep getting interrupted by customer calls.

When she didn't eat after her customary saunter to the kitchen to say good morning when I was getting ready to leave for the office yesterday, I suspected something was up. She's 16 and very arthritic. Fish oil supplements helped a great deal though.

The empty spot under my desk right now, where she normally is when I am up this early, is noticable.

Will be going in to the office later than usual.

Have to bury the cat. :(

We've picked a lone tree on the west end of our property. Unfortunately the ground is very hard there so a hoe pick will be in order.

It predated Foxworthy :)
