My "vacation" before the 4th has involved a redo of the garage space so my truck can "fit" inside. I've had several trips to the dealership for engine lights and each time it has been rodent damage. It's gotten very expensive to keep fixing the problem and while it wasn't practical to build a new garage this was the solution. Our hired man is a wiz at reorganization and he insisted the truck would fit. It just involved getting a new configuration, getting rid of junk, and a parking plan. Yes, there is a tennis ball from the ceiling so I don't drive through the back of the structure. (Idiot ball!) I can scoot through the front if I stand sideways. The back. Not so much. But I am thankful to have the truck inside. This just cracked me up (pun intended) because it isn't right, but it will work!
From there, we tackled the barn that hasn't been cleaned for eight years! The last big cleanup was just before my final art tour weekend. The year of the horse crash so I didn't even participate in the tour. Again, there was a plan put into place to get the corrugated boxes in order, with SHELVES! Emptying out the contents and cleaning everything. Throwing stuff, selling stuff, just plain downsizing. It's liberating!
Looks like we had a snowstorm here that past few evenings with all the tiny white moths everywhere!
The best blessing we had was a 3/4" rain last evening. We had not seen rain for 33 days. So praying we can get into a wetter weather pattern as most every shower that shows up has missed us. In spite of that, I think the tomatoes are doing fabulously. I put them in the backyard up by the house so I can water easily and keep track of their progress.They are nearly as tall as I am at this point and blossom are coming on nicely. Maybe all those white moths will be good pollinators.
