I Saw Sun!

Here in North Central Texas, the rain seems to have finally loosened its grip.

During our deluge, our lakes went from being thirteen feet under to more than two feet over. Then it kept raining.

The rushing river in the drainage ditch behind my home, lapped up to my fence line on occasion.

As to my garden, it has mostly been a disaster. All of my squash, melons and cucumbers died from over watering. My tomatoes had little sun, and are just now producing. One is turning pink today.

I have gotten a bumper crop of green beans. I went to trellis beans this year and they are taking over.

Surprisingly, after the rain is over, I've been weeding and have found the earth dry around the roots. Evidently I need to get more organic matter tilled in. And probably tilled in deeper. So this year I'm making a big effort to collect as many leaves and grass clippings from neighbors as I can.

And Yay! My neighbor cut down a dead tree and gave me the large logs. I have a couple of garden areas they they be used to border. I have one log to replace, that my dogs destroyed. It rotted and they discovered it was full of tasty things. I replaced it with stone, but logs are better.

Anyway... Here's what I'm listening to today...
