It's for the Beans

Although today is nice 70's the early part of the week was for the Beans 90's and humid.  I would much rather have 60's - 70's.

Yesterday was for the beans also, I stopped at the farm and picked 2+ ice cream buckets of Green Beans that my brother Phil planted in one of his many gardens.  I nipped, washed and cut them up last night and canned them this morning.  My goal was to get 16 pints and that's exactly what I got. Since we are usually in Alaska this time of year we don't get to can as much as we would like to. Thanks Bro!

A definite rain mark where the last storm passed across the front yard.  No, really this is the area that has been sprayed twice now with Round-Up with one more spraying (if needed) in preparation of planting a prairie flower/grass mixture sometime late October/early November.

July 4th 2016

I walked around the property today and took some pictures.  There are quite a few black raspberries I could pick, we'll see how my time goes.  There are a lot of things I would like to get done before coming back to Alaska, mostly weeding, weed-eating and some mowing.  I found a few maintenance issues I want to address as well, such as replace the bird feeder as the top has been broken off, replace the thermometer batteries and I already replaced a bathroom florescence.
