M2A:
My condolences BJ. Sorry to hear.
Congrats on that grad champion!
Your beets look good there, your cart reminds me when we use to grow potatoes and the pull behind digging equipment that went along with the process
Tomato, peppers, lopes, cuks, zuks, corn and some other stuff getting picked here now. Things getting busy. About 3 weeks till ginger gold apples will be ready and that will start the main crop for me.
Much more going on, hope to get more free time to post some stuff soon, but cant right now everything just hitting me at the same time. so just checking in.

Definitely understand the to busy to post Mike.
Thanks so much.
Wish you a safe and bountiful harvest.
I woke yesterday morning and looked at my radar. It looked like we were going to for sure get rain. As the morning progressed it all just petered out.
I got ready for dad’s funeral gathered up stuff I wanted to take up in procession. Headed for church. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful Service. Well attended especially for a 85 year old man who has been searching for home for the past three years.
After the service we went to the cemetery and still no rain. Nothing on the radar either. I was feeling a little down but it was so good to see so many people I hadn’t seen in to long. We ate and visited and most all had left. We were cleaning up the hall and it started a beautiful rain. It continued the rest of the day. I think everything we farm got at beautiful inch or better rain. We needed it so badly and the timing was perfect.
I was certain dad was home already, but this definitely reassured me. I think he even got to pull a few strings.
Some of my cousins stayed overnight and I’m spending some time with them today.
As Pappy says Life is Good
Enjoy it everyone

I had a really relaxing and enjoyable day.
A couple of my cousins stayed overnight and one of them spent the whole day here yet today. When I was a kid he spent a couple summers working with my dad. He grew up in the city and loved working with my dad on the farm. He was a few years older than me, but I can remember it.
When he graduated school he joined the army and was stationed overseas. When he came back he moved out of the city to the upper peninsula. We really had a good visit and got a lot of the world’s problems solved. It was just very pleasant and I showed him around.
He reluctantly left about 6:00 this afternoon.
I’m really hoping we can do it again soon.
After he left I did some hoeing in the garden.
The rain was so welcome. Everything looks so much better.
You can literally smell everything growing today
Got a couple watermelons and cantaloupe developing

Sure does Bob. My niece has been looking for a house for months. Yesterday they found just what they were looking for and made a offer. Guess we’ll see if they get it
