    Harvest blues

    My sunflowers are in full bloom! I still have a lot of fall vegetables too. I do admit that when the flowers die, I get sad. Our leaves are starting to change into beautiful red, orange, yellow and brown.

    Hot air balloons

    Lucky Lucky you @Ritar!! I wish I could go up in a hot air balloon. Is it scary? How was your first time? Are you harnessed in? I would be afraid of falling out!

    Purple sunflower?

    Has anyone seen these beautiful purple sunflowers? I love sunflowers and yellow is my favorite color. I was looking online for different types and came upon this. I ordered them on Amazon. I am so excited!

    Name that plant

    I have these big and beautiful flowers in my yard. I call them dinner plate hibiscus flowers. My friend had some years ago and she needed to thin them out. She gave me 4 or 5 bulbs. They are gorgeous! Could it have been these?

    How you envision retirement?

    I love that Rich! All of your animals were pets! I do envision retiring at some point - way too young right now. I am hoping that one of the children will keep running our family farm. I want to travel the US in a RV.

    Milwaukee tools

    I have to say that I am not impressed right now. This morning our Milwaukee hammer drill quit working. We bought it a little less than a year ago. Granted it only cost us around $280. This is the third Milwaukee tool to just stop working in the last year! I'm headed to our local parts store to...

    Food Help on the Way for Louisiana Households Hit by Hurricane Ida

    This is awesome news! I can't even imagine the devastation that these families are dealing with. Finally something that the Government is doing to help people (that I agree with).

    Planted apple and a pear tree

    Wow! So we did plant two of each and they are looking good! Of course no fruit yet though. I'm excited for the day when we get to pick pears from our land.

    Uptick in cases

    Cases are going up around me too! I was really hoping that it would pass us (Delta variant). So far, so good for my family! I hope everyone here stays safe.

    Floods!!

    I can remember my gramps telling me about a flood they had before I was born. They lost a lot of chickens and 1 cow. I lived through one flood in the 70s but we didn't lose any farm animals.

    Leaves changing

    I love all the seasons but I am not ready for fall yet! We have been getting rainy and hot days too. Our leaves aren't changing yet here. It won't be long though!

    Beekeeping tech

    I would be interested to learn more about bees and beekeeping . I know basically nothing! Care to share anything you have learned while looking into this new adventure.

    Watering flowers

    We have not had to water the flowers in almost a week. The ground is pretty saturated with all of the rain we have been getting. Normally we water daily, when it's not stormy out.

    Torrential rain

    We have had two days of torrential downpours! It's so bad that two fields are looking like pools! I really hope all the rain doesn't hurt our crop. What do you do for this? When it's a drought, we can water. When it's crazy amounts of heavy rain, we are at the mercy of our runoffs.

    Bone spurs, plantar fasciitis

    I've had the same as I tried those exercises, meds and heal pads. Nothing worked, so I had to get cortisone shots. I think the problem was that I couldn't rest them enough.
