Ya gotta drive and drive to get anywhere

Today was mostly spent in getting from one place to another.  I went to Clinton to pick up our supplies for the green team adopt a highway program.  That was 35 miles northeast.  Then I had to go to Wilmington to pick up some wine supplies, a hose and an anniversary present (28 years).  That was 65 miles South.  Then home, that was 55 miles northwest.

When I got home, I noticed that one of my squashes was really wilted.  Don't know whether it is a bug or a disease.  I may have to pull it up tomorrow.  I did get another squash from another plant.  The garden is so dry.  Even with irrigation, the sun makes the leaves droop.  I also noticed that the wax beans and green beans are starting to come in.  In about 3-4 days, I will be up to my elbows in beans.  Woo Hoo.

I unthawed my strawberries and mixed the wine fixings, except the yeast, which goes in tomorrow.  I got another washtub and another primary fermenter.  So I can have two batches going at the same time.

I did do walkies in the heat and the yellow flies.  Got bug art pics and that's about all.

I REALLY would like to know what kind of bug makes these.  It has to be pretty big and heavy to show such deep indentations.  One of the mysteries of life I'll never know I guess.

That's it for today.
