and thats just the way i like it. well not really but aint no sense in whining bout it. weatherman said it will be in the nineties for the next 8 days and possibly for two weeks. then the heat index will be even higher. hol=lee

i mulched my crooked neck squash today with straw. and did the same thing with my tomato plants, cucumbers and tomatillos. i figure if its gonna be that hot i better conserve what moisture is in the ground. i still gotta score me some barrels to catch rain with. some dude in the nearby redneck town has some for 15 bucks a barrel. might go see him. we can eye each other with disdain but still come out ahead. business is business. then i have to rig up something on my gutter spouts. sure would like to find a cart to pull behind my rider mower. that would be real convenient for watering my plants during the hot,dry season.

i used the straw bales the tribe gave away last fall. someone called me and asked how many i wanted. i said i will take all i can get. they replied i could only have 6. one of them threw caution to the wind and brought me an extra one. i was concerned one of the zealots at the general council would point out i got an extra bale and they didnt.  that didnt happen, musta had a more serious crusade to lead. i used the straw bales over the winter as a well insulated dog house. my mutts enjoyed that.  i knew i would use the straw during gardening season. today i used most of them. still got some to mulch other plants with. gotta do that in the mornings while it is relatively cool. i used the wire that held the bales together on my homemade trellise for my beans to climb on.

got a wedding to do tomorrow. it is out in the boondocks. should be fun. will be busy this whole week. got 7 ceremonies in 8 days. i still have things i have to do while all this is going on. just gotta make time. i will still log my miles walking. and i got that book i was gonna read. it should be entertaining. and sometime i have to mow the yard again. it never ends.
