I was driving home from getting feed two days ago when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a fence post that looked “odd.” I checked for traffic and backed up. Yep, it was no ordinary fence post. It was a Great Gray Owl sitting on the top of a wood fence post. They’re very rare here in the summer and it’s unusual to see one up close in the daytime. I got a couple of photos with my phone and continued home, doing the happy dance as I drove. It made my whole day!<\/p>\n

Isn’t this Great Gray Owl cool? I think he was pushed out of Canada by the forest fires there which are sending thick smoke down to us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We got some more rain and the garden is jumping. It seems rain does plants more good than watering ever did! I’ve now got a row of pole beans weeded as well as five 100-foot rows of peppers in the North garden. Boy do those pepper plants look great. We got a new 12-volt fencer hooked up to the electric fence around it and we have a second new fencer to put on a fence (yet to be installed) around the Wolf garden. I’ll feel much better when both of them have electric fences around them, along with the stock panel fencing. No cows<\/em> please!<\/p>\n

The corn is starting to tassel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our corn is starting to tassel out. Little tiny ears are forming below on the stalks so I know in a few days the corn is going to shoot upward. How exciting! And more rain is in the forecast too. Thank God! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
