- Hot, Hazy, Humid With A Chance Of Thunderstorms
We've reached the tipping point of summer...where the humidity and the temperature are both in the 90's. Evening thunderstorms drive moisture into the ground;which then ascends the next afternoon, hanging in the air like a heavy velvet curtain....

It has been a perfectly perfect week on the farm.Cool nights and warm (but not hot) days have re-energized me.It is so much easier to harvest and put up the veggies when the weather is cooler! Scattered storms have timed themselves so that I could take...

Thunderstorm Season
We're in the midst of a stretch of showers and thunderstorms.
(With an occasional tornado watch thrown in!)
Those of us with any sense at all are remaining indoors
and watching from the safety of shelter.
Those without any sense....
are wet!
We've had so many inches of rain that the front pasture is flooding.
The pond is full to the brim.
And most of the ducks have headed for higher ground.
(for whatever reason)
I am making good use of this time and taking care of this...
and this...
Every day, I pick a large bucket full of produce from the garden.
We've had a strawberry explosion.
It's a late harvest for these berries, but I suppose that is because the
first wave of blossoms froze.
The freeze certainly did not hurt our harvest.
I turned this colander full into a batch of jam.
While it storms outside,
I am enjoying fresh picked flowers inside the house.
If I cannot be out in my garden,
at least I can bring some of it inside with me!
I am looking forward to this weekend.
Tyler is coming to stay on Grammie's farm for the weekend.
Let's hope we get a break in the weather.
See you Monday with more Tails from the Farm!
