Whoa, Would You Look At The Time!

Sorry for the late post.  Time is getting away from me lately.  The minutes just seem to go by.

We had a lovely rain today, about 1.5 inches and more due tomorrow.  I am hoping that the drought is over for us, but those minutes will tell.

I'm getting SO much okra from the garden, I can't keep up.  I think I could fill the big freezer with just okra, eat it every day and still have some left to give away.  My weed crop is loverly.  My new cukes are flowering, but you can't see them very well in the grass.  My volunteer tomatoes are still producing.  The rest is pretty much done.  I should start to pull up the old plants to make way for the new, but it is still pretty hot and humid during the day.

I have started walkies again and man are the dogs and I out of shape.  I took some pics of the cove this AM.  It is the lowest that I have ever seen.  I was walking on the bottom of the swamp area, which is now dry ground.

I also got some more bug art.

I went to pick up my case of wine from the contest last saturday.  It was really a good mix.  All of their best wines.  I have now gotten 1/2 way through it, with a little help from Mom and Jim.  I bottled my own blueberry wine yesterday.  It is OK, but again, a little too citrusy for my taste.  I'm working on it.

The baybays are growing like weeds.  They are now fully on their own.  The young adults are almost full grown.  Another month I think, then I will probably be having trouble between the new roosters and JW.  I'm putting that decision off until the last possible moment.  I now have three broodies and one who is laying eggs in one of my porch plants.  I just don't get it.  But then I am not a cocker, in this life.  Maybe in a former one.  Maybe a chicken to the Pharoh.  

Well the days are getting shorter, so it's time to put the cockers up.
