True... hard telling how much spring water I drank today. Good for me though, because when you drink a lot of water, you have to pee a lot. That means less time for people's drama. Sorry no time for that, gotta pee.

i told Mom "Happy Father's Day" when we got up first thing in the morning. she always gets a laugh out of that. i did call Dad later and he didn't answer but eventually did call back. we chatted for a bit.

44 out ,, up at 4am,, made coffee, set the sprinkler,
Suns not up yet but
COFFEES READY

On my second cup of coffee, been sleeping later than usual lately. Grass is dripping wet with dew. I look at it and think about all the worm larva that's crawling up the leaves of the grass to infect the sheep. Well, that's where MY mind goes........ All the rain is making the grass grow, sheep are getting fat and coming in at night with full bellies. I've wormed twice, lost 2 lambs to worms. I'll worm again, probably this week, or next. Most of the ewes don't need worming, only a few, but I worm all the lambs, they don't have resistance yet. With all the humidity, I'll be dripping wet. I change shirts every time I go outside and come back in. I have a series of wet T-shirts hung over the bathtub. LOL Just go pick the driest one and put it back on.

Slept until 7am alarm. Coffee, now breakfast -- PBJ. We've had some amount of rain every day for a week, mostly light. But heavy last night. Now, here comes summer blasting in...upper 87-94 predicted all week. Hot sun & dry. Beach tourists will be thrilled

I'll get some farm things done this week, so long as I start early. Mid day heat sends you inside. AC will get a workout. I'm on the deworm & wet shirt details like Bay.

"A few tornados" just a few.

Rained A LOT overnight, didn't sleep well big claps of thunder woke me up several times. Very super humid out there with overcast skies, little to no wind.

I have apple and peach trees with decent amounts of fruit. I sprayed them yesterday evening and included a spreader sticker for rain fastness in the mix. So much water this year... half of the peaches are showing signs of nitrogen deficiency (no surprise there) so I spread a nice wide band of 12-12-12 around them and will let rains take care of distribution to the roots.

Going after 20 gallons of gasoline this evening, just in case we need it for the generator. Unfortunately... we've had to use the generator, more than I would prefer. But then again, it's so nice to have it when we need it. A properly sized generator, was one of the more better decisions we've made.
