The lower section of the garden isn't growing as well. We'll have to make sure we put a ditch on that side from now on.

My lettuce has gotten tall. It's still edible though. I've got new ones started but they're slow growing so far.

Cherry tomatoes are almost ripe.

My son spent some time using his 3D printer to make this robot. My husband put it together and painted it. It's going to the local gamestore.
 

July 18, 2026

It wasn't very smoky today, and we got a little bit of rain in the afternoon.
 

July 17, 2026

It's still smoky.  

July 16, 2026

It was very smoky today. This was taken in the middle of the day when we should have had bright sun because there weren't any clouds. It's all smoke. It smelled smoky too.
 

July 15, 2026

It's getting hazy from some wildfires in Canada.
 

July 14, 2026

My cup plant and queen of the prairie are blooming.
 

July 13, 2026

I got a few rows of the indian corn weeded. It's growing nicely, with pumpkins growing between them. I planted beans too but most of them didn't grow so we planted sweet corn where the beans didn't come up.

Dragonfly.
 

July 11, 2026

We got a bunch of rain this week. The kale and cabbage on the lower, wetter side of the garden are dying. I guess they don't like excess water.
 

July 10, 2026

Block was delivered across the road today.

I'm hoping to get some tomatoes soon. The parsley is looking nice too.

These two hummingbirds fight over the feeder, along with a third one which shows up occasionally. They don't like to share.
 

July 3, 2026

There were a lot of big, impressive clouds today. My kids took some time lapse videos of them. We eventually got some needed rain in the evening.

July 1, 2026

It was hot and hazy today.
 

June 30, 2026

The peas are getting big and starting to dry out.
 

June 29, 2026

We saw a turtle laying eggs at the edge of my field peas. Maybe I'll cover it over with the peas to hide it tomorrow.
 

June 28, 2026

I spent most of the day weeding and hoeing the gardens. We got most of it done, but the rest of the weeks is supposed to be hot so what's left will have to wait.
 

June 27, 2026

Some of the potatoes are starting to have flowers.
 

June 26, 2026

At the moment, our apple trees have some nice looking apples coming on.
 

June 25, 2026

We're getting little cucumbers.
 

June 24, 2026

It looks like they got the footers poured today for the new house (or whatever it is).

June 22, 2026

We went out to eat to celebrate my daughter getting her private pilot license.

I sewed myself a phone pocket since women's jeans have tiny pockets. I used old jeans and an old shirt. I forgot to add the clips so used some plastic snaps I had. I thought this would just be the first version but it's working out well so far. I can fit my phone and either my sunglasses or gloves inside the main pocket. Then go work in the yard with my phone.

Blueberries are coming soon.
 

June 17, 2026

An excavator was brought in today to dig a presumed basement.
 

June 16, 2026

We had a storm on Sunday which knocked over our largest pear tree.
 

June 15, 2026

We saw my daughter flying today.
 

June 14, 2026

We had a baby deer under our crabapple this morning. Later it went into the thick grass under the tree where it was rather difficult to see.

June 13, 2026

We planted Indian corn, beans, and squash in most of this garden. The last 20 feet or so I planted with flower seeds today.

June 11, 2026

There was some sundogs today and we could see a hint of the circle connecting them.
 

June 10, 2026

There was a big lightning storm to the south and I got a few photos. This one has lightning and a lightning bug (the yellow line above the lightning bolt).
 

June 9, 2026

More watering. We scrounged up enough garden hoses to reach this garden.
 

June 8, 2026

It looks like something is being built across the street. We're guessing a building, maybe a house. Today a bulldozer scraped the topsoil into big piles.
 

June 7, 2026

It didn't rain like they said it would so we have to water.
 

June 6, 2026

This bunny lets us get rather close. I got about 10 feet from it before it nonchalantly hopped a little bit away.
