Drought, Deluge, Turkey Dinner

Having a heart to heart. This guy is oh so social.

Then up he hops onto my shoulder, usually getting nicely settled on my left. Not sure what it all means for Thanksgiving dinner.

RAIN is the topic, usually whether there is too much or not enough.  Driving sheets, thunderbolts, steady showers, we've had it all everyday, since Saturday.  That is a whole mess of water. I am not going to start whining after experiencing drought conditions, but it is time to turn off the sky faucet. If mud prevents planting that's no good either. Ahh, to receive just the right amount is always the high wire act for growers.

Toms and zukes are looking good for this Saturday's CSA bag.  The rain will help all those weed seeds germinate. Looks like tomorrow will be half weeding and half planting. More varieties of cukes and squash are going in the ground. We've lost several days for working and need to ramp up the effort.
