A whole nest full of birds.

We have a bird that insists on building its nest under
the front of the trailer on top of the hitch. They crowd
so many into the nest that they hang over
the edge. I think there are 4 in there now.
They all have feathers so I expect them to fly away
at any time. They build a nest in April and again in June
or July. This is the second brood this year.

Too much fruit and veggies!

This is what happened to the artichokes because we couldn't eat all of them.



We have so many apricots that they look like grapes on the tree.



The peaches are in full swing. I hope to dry some of these.

The grape tomatoes are going to out do themselves. We will have to start eating these.

Pa picked the squash yesterday. What am I going to do with all of them?

He pulled out all but 4 of each kind.

Feast or famine! Wish some of these could get ripe in the winter!

Getting rid of all the hoses

Every time it was watering time, the hoses had to be
dragged around. It was work. Then they all had to
be put back.











So Pa got the bright idea to put a drip system in the
orchard. He hasn't thought about putting one in the
garden yet. Thats next.













He worked hard stringing plastic tubing around the
orchard and installing the drippers, shut-offs, and
extensions.

I don't know how he knew where
everything went .
Then came the test to see how many leaks
he had and if it would actually work.













IT WORKS! YAY!
