Garden
The pole beans went crazy with their vegitation. Only problem is that there are few if any beans. There are blooms, but no beans. Sally grew tired of them and ordered most of them pulled up.
Pond
The beavers were busy, damming up the culverts again this week. I would guess they had the pond backed up a good 8 inches. I unclogged both culverts on our walk Saturday morning and the wate started pouring through. The interesting thing was that we beat the water to where it flows under the road. We could hear it coming down the creek and got to see the surge come through.
Weather
Had 1.8 inches in the gage -- nice given the oppresive heat we had been and the fact that we got nothing in town. But what a cool down for the weekend setting record lows in the 50s and highs in the low 80s. Got some quality hammock time in.
Work
Mowed everything on the upper level. Got the Stihl started without a problem and cut hickory and oak ice storm limbs above the well house. Dug down to the bottom of the Yard Hydrant behind the barn -- which has had a broken handle for a couple of years. Still more excavation needed. I'll replace it with parts Ben gave me. Hopefully it won't be too much of a PITA. Sprayed more sumac in the upper pasture. Still much more to go, but finally feeling like it is possible to get it under control.
