A brief update

I left the sweltering heat of Alabama for 10 days in the upper Midwest. There was a 20 degree difference in temperature some days.

But before I left, I flew the white flag of surrender for the zucchini. They hung in there valiantly, unfortunately they were no match for some strong wind from a passing thunderstorm.






It's been so dry I relented and let the horses graze in the back yard. Why start the gas-powered mower when the horse-powered mowers can do the work for you?





And it's time to be on the lookout for army worms. This guy was munching away on my tomatoes before I left. I came back to some chewed up leaves but no sign of the perpetrators (yet).
