Now back to gardening...

Hooray!!! We have had rain all morning... We're up to 5/10ths of an inch... Best single day total in 7 weeks...

Yesterday was a day-off the farm... We hadn't been up into western Maryland in years so off we went... Unfotunately we rescued two box turtles off the road before we could get outta the area and so they rode with us in a cardboard box... I wanted to find them a nice home so when we got to Maryland I picked backroads into the Catoctin Mountains and finally found a place where they will do well but...

...by then we were fairly well lost... Okay, maybe not all that lost... But it took some thinkin' to get where we wanted to be...

But we did pass a sighn that read "Sweet Corn, $3 Dozen" so we stopped by this farmer and bought a dozen beautiful ears of corn... We genarlly get our corn from Mr. Clifford but he has had serious problems with the Rat-coons and may not end up with enough for us to freeze this winter but it's nice to have our first corn...

Still no vine ripe tomatoes... Red but not ripe... Grrrrrr.... I refuse to buy a tomato with a hundred of them waiting to ripen...

Bout it for now...
