Good time to get out and work on the garden. Good afternoon all.

that is some sort of hippy thing isnt it?

That is what I was thinking also.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Still no rain yet, but now there's a tornado watch until 9 p.m..

 

[OneBadV8]

haha, no... it's an alternative to coffee for me in the afternoons that doesn't have caffeine

I mean, I think a lot of hippies like it, but I thought they moved on to Matcha and Boba

They're taking their time with mine this year, but it's all sunflower seeds now I think.

I found some decent bulk bird feed at Tractor Supply, big white bag.
It has lots of ingredients, but large percentage of maize or I think they call it sorghum up here, along with cracked grains of several types.
Everything loves maize!

Yep, I have eaten maize. Just like any other hard grain, boil it for a few minutes and let it steep for half an hour. Maize turns inside out.
Add some molassis.

Addendum:
NO, our maize did not come from animal feed!
It was fresh out my grandpa's field.

Storms look like they're wimping out the closer they get.

Happens often.

I used to think it was the two faultlines because they are always close, but I have come to see more evidence that it is the large bends and confluences between rivers near by and surrounding Indiana.

I think there's a force field over Marion County.

Still dry here !

I'm in Hamilton Co.
We're dry here, STILL, neighbor.

 

[BeDome]

Aaaand, I've got a clogged downspout!

I forgot to report last time one of my downspouts clogged.

Second time digging a squirrel out of a plugged gutter spout this spring.
One dead squirrel will do it.

more like a cloud

I've got one small gutter that clogs sometimes. Makes me want to get the gutter guard / leaf guard stuff. But I still haven't yet. Might actually have the tree cut down too

"Cut down a tree, you must plant three."
Honor code in dry places!

I know there are plenty of reasons to cut down a tree. We are not always destroying the world when we do.

 

[BeDome]

All clear here now, but it's heating up, so hopefully storms will start popping this afternoon.

That thing lifted its skirts and tip toed over us here in central.
Barely a drop or two, none even touching.

this one is about 3 feet from my basement, I'm sure the roots about to cause some bad structural damage very soon.

thought about planting some arborvitae shrubs in its place
