We are still hot and dry here and now we can add very windy. A slight chance of storms.....hay men have promised they will be finished baling tonight....Still have another 20-30 acres to do. so far; so good.
We had the yard mowed today....still no lawn mower. This was a first for me. He used a tractor type mower....OK but I still like my Zero-Turn and think it does a much better trim job up close to things. From the looks of things we won't need to mow again if it doesn't rain soon.
I got the berry patch soaked good yesterday so they are on their own for a while.
While I was in the berry patch I noticed the cherry tree......ready to be picked! So I picked them yesterday morning just what I could reach standing on the ground. I also picked up enough apricots (they fall to the ground when ripe) to make a 5 cup batch of jam.
I also picked a handful of the snap peas that did fill out a bit and were much sweeter....stringy though.
I froze 5 - 5-cup packages of cherries and can get a lot more with the ladder and my assistant. The holiday weekend means company so all will have to wait until company leaves.
