Journal for July 18-24
Comments (23)Gonna be hot again today, not like back east and down south but anything over about 85 is hot to me. So far this morning I have managed to accomplish killing two hours in the cool of the day playing here on this magic box. Got most of the problem branches off the walnut tree yesterday. Was fun as there was a strong breeze blowing. Had a mountain of brush off of it with more to go. Finally decided enough of being on a swaying ladder and turned to loading brush. One of the tree plantings I did 25 years ago was to make sure I had PU access into the garden area. Took some back and forthing but did get it there. Chopped brush and used Alma's new anvil shears to cut all the small side shoots off the branches. Don't know the brand but it is a nice tool. Will be able to load all the brush on one load if I continues really chopping it small. One more trip up the ladder today to remove the last big problem branch. Also attach a cable up there. Need to cable it back to the PU, add about 3 5gal buckets of water to the middle, reef it tight and fall the tree. It wants to go the wrong way. Although Alma never really said it is O.K. She didn't say NO! NO! so I take that as agreement. I am sure that I am reading it right, right?? Subject removal of the locust. In addition to bringing up more morning glory seeds when the stump was ground it apparently has caused the roots to send up shoots. I am finding them all over up to 30 ft away from where the tree was. Handy dandy spray bottle of Round Up always convenient. Ceresone: I heat almost totally with wood - 5-7 cord yearly. Sold a few cords twice but it really doesn't pay. I use 'wooding' as both recreation and physical excercise. Currently building a good stock so I can continue heating with wood when I can no longer cut more. Checked the 1/2 acre of hay that I want to go to seed. It is looking dry and strawy now but the seed heads still seem firm. Will wait a bit more then lay it down with sickle bar mower and chop it up with the riding mower. Always fun in the hottest part of the year. Just about finished with watering for this stretch. One more move of the sprinkler chain after breakfast and that's it for another 4-5 days.

Comments (16)Who is Bernice? A hermit crab I take it, but who's hermit crab? Poor crabs - out there in the sun and wind being mistreated. There are many 'pets' that ought to be banned from sale and the hermit crab is one of them! Sorry, I am anti exotic pets period. Very few people qualify to properly care for other than your basic dog or cat IMO. There is nothing worse than some kid with a tiny hermit crab prison and he forgets to mist and water it daily and in a few days the rotten stench of dead crab. Not pretty. Same goes for Turtle races or any of that ilk. Cruelty as it's best....See MoreHappy National Dog Day!!!
Comments (81)"On the other hand, what DOG is spelled backward works too! And as my church says, "God is Love." So, if dog spelled backward is god, and god is love, then indeed, dog spelled backward is love!" that's what I always say! dog is God spelled backward. They show us a smidgeon of how much God loves us. He loves us so much to bless our lives with these precious sweeties! I also think the best way to honor the love and life of one of my babies that have passed is to find another one to shower with love (spoil rotten). It's good to read that so many here are rescues. I think all of mine have been. All of your babies look very easy to love (and well loved). I'd take any of them (ok, one at a time). well, if I didn't have my little monster - lol! btw, since I didn't find out it was NDD the other day til it was mostly over, I carried it over to the next day... and even today. I'm slipping in some extra kisses and cookies here and there. I blame my sister for spoiling her!...See MoreUMass Extension Landscape Message July 24, 2020
Comments (12)Sue, we were in that boat the past 3 years. We'd see a forecast that we could expect rain and even one town over would get the rain and we wouldn't. Very frustrating. I was dragging the hose all over the garden all summer. And that works to a point, but, nothing is as beneficial as enough rain. Especially when you have mature trees on your property that suck up the moisture. And we had a water ban to deal with too. We spread a lot of bark mulch to try to preserve the moisture, but that only gets you so far. So, I hope you get the rain you need. And there is hope that even when you are having that kind of summer, it really could be different next year....See More- 6 years ago

I missed Tequila Day this year, but I put it on my Google calendar as a repeating event so that I will be reminded next year.
