Thanks for that lovely breakfast, Cowboy. It's amazing you had time to whip that up before hitting the fields!!
Work did not begin yesterday on the leak project. But we have a whole week of dry weather ahead, so hopefully it will be done this week sometime. Mr. D bought a 2inch intake discharge water pump at Harbor Freight last Friday and used it to pump out the 5 inches of rain that Helene had dumped. It had brought the water up to the area of the patch work, making the ground too spongey for the equipment. It worked really quickly so now the area is drying out and will likely be ok for the equipment. While he is here he is going to take out two huge honey locust trees. I'm pleased about that but it will make a lot of work for Mr. D cutting and splitting for next year. I really dislike honey locust tho. Have any of you had experience with them. They tend to grow in pasture areas and they have absolutely dreadful 2-3 in thorns! Awful things.
Prayers for your home in Florida, Rava. Keep us posted.
24 more for all of us please and thank you.

Hopefully your Florida home will be safe Rava, I can't imagine living in a hurricane or tornado zone, but the lots of people wonder why I live in an area that gets to -40 in the winter lol.
You'll be just fine Jude, the only thing I don't like about flying is the ear popping during the elevation changes.Leave a comment:

I'm flying to Wyoming this Thursday and I'm not looking forward to it. As usual, I'm sure that my fears are blown out of proportion but I will get through it. It's the take offs and landing that scare the he'll out of me, but visiting my sister will make it worthwhile.
Rava, sure hope that Milton doesn't cause too much damage to your area and that you stay safe.

Don't work too hard, Dill! Happy Sabbath.
Rava, I've been out of touch with news events. I had to look up Milton. I hope your place stays safe!
ABC, thanks for breakfast!
Jude, thinking of you and your sis. _/\_
Hey, Mul! Hope you are well and getting out for some last of season hiking. I miss it so.
Counting my blessings though! I'll take another day of freedom

Good Sunday Morning Cafe. Thanks for the breakfast Cowboy and I wish you good harvesting for the next week or so. Jude, have you arrived at your sisters yet. Ginger glad you made it home safely! Dill, good luck repairing the leak. I was on the road all day yesterday driving back and forth to a family function. All is well here but I am holding my breath for Hurricane Milton supposed to hit on Wednesday and we are in the direct path. Our ponds and grounds are already saturated. Makes me rethink my choice to live in Florida……. 24 more please and thank you.Leave a comment:

Hopefully the pond repair all goes well dill, and that you get enough snow to get the water level back up.
It's been such a drawn out harvest Jude because of all the rain we've had, the weather is looking good for the next week or so anyway.Leave a comment:

Today will be a bit busier than usual. If the ground is dry enough the work will begin on our attempt to patch the pond to stop the leak I believe I mentioned a few weeks ago (before all the weather events). Fingers crossed that they can get started and hopefully be successful in the effort.
It is getting so dark in the mornings now! It will be just barely light enough for me to drive to Church this morning for the 8:00.
Jude, when is your flight? (Or has it already happened?) Either way, you and your sister will be in my prayers today.
Hope all is humming along out in the field, Cowboy.
Waves to Rava, Ginger and Mul. 24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.Leave a comment:

Cowboy, for some reason I thought that you were pretty much done with the harvest, but I guess that I was wrong. Hopefully you can finish up within the next couple of weeks. We still have a bunch of peppers and winter squash to pick before the next frost which is supposed to happen this coming week.
I'm in for another 24 hours of peace...Leave a comment:

Home safe and sound! Fall has moved in around here. I'll gladly take another day of freedom!

Have a safe trip home Ginger, glad your visit with your sisters was a very enjoyable time for you. Them as well I bet...
I wish we could finish up harvest in one day Rava, but if the weather and equipment cooperate, we should finish up in a little over a week to 10 days.Leave a comment:
