Pantry day at City of Hope Church. A wonderful ministry. Feels great to help!
Summer’s first day brings forecasted heatwave. Temps pushing 100°F/37.8°C the next five days. Morning fog hides much of the mountain. Stay hydrated my friend!

Have you noticed increased cost of diesel fuel yet? Mr. Holstein drives a diesel VW. Wondering if he will take possession of my Equinox? 😳
Good morning from WV! It's WV Day over here. 162 years since we separated from Virginia to stay in the Union against slavery!

Good morning all y’all! All the critters are fed. Cucumber beetles picked and drowned, eggs removed and mashed. Storm rolled through last night and dropped 1/2 inch of rain. Memorial service for the nephew at noon. Then I am officiating a wedding at 2:00.

Nematodes applied. Spinach is over. I might start more. Kale and chard still going. Trimmed herbs to dry. A few strawberries and blueberries were ready. The blackberry is okay but not much production this year.

Brunch salad. This is about 50/50 homegrown and store bought. The eggs, chard, kale, spinach, zucchini flower, and peas were grown here. The tuna, dressing, tomatoes, and carrots are store bought.
It was yummy!

Hope how soon the nematodes get here. I managed to drop these striped beetles in some soapy water but that won’t work long.

I have a few bush beans on the way. Also earwigs! Earwigs have stripped my parsley.

Good morning all y’all. Mr. Holstein is on vacation this week. Hope to get a few things done here and at dad’s. Rain overnight and today reducing garden work. Didn’t find the nematodes yesterday.
Good morning all y'all! Critters fed, poultry tended, gardens checked. Already finding some striped cucumber beetles on my zucchini. I need to go to Rural King today so may look for nematodes. Dad's deposits and some other errands on the to-do list today.

Good morning all y’all! Today is forecasted to be the hottest on record so far for 2025. All critters and poultry tended. Garden watered. Here’s a petunia my grandnephew gave me for Mother’s Day.
