Well we got a downpour just now,this should help the alfalfa pellets I put under the straw break down.Cucumbers and tomatoes are flowering and I have peppers that are 2 inches long.

we had 1/2 inch yesterday but the storm you got today was just North of us. I could hear the thunder and the sky was a dark as pitch but it didn't cross 71... as normal.

![]() Long vacation ,welcome back. As per original post. Here in 10 b I like to stay with the larger bedding wheat straw,stiffer holds water in the straw,takes longer than the thinner coastal hays,alfalfas are bot to bad but clumpy.The thinner grasses seem to turn ugly black,clump unless separated,and are moldier than the dryer grasses.

It has been in the low 90s and very humid here this week, but it's getting hotter this weekend. |

My daughter lives off of Farr Rd,don't know if she had rain but it seemed to be southwest of us and that would be in your direction as well as hers.

I think daylight savings time was proposed by Ben Franklin to save candle wax for half the year.
We don't use many candles today. Not having to deal with schedules like airlines or trains I think 10 minutes a month would be good, who cares if they are 10 minutes early or late ? Cows would appreciate only a 10 minute wait for milking instead of an hour. |

Think I read someplace Ben Franklin came up with the time change idea to save on candle usage.
