I can relate to the "bad." My father in law (bless him) killed a huge armadillo that has been wreaking havoc in my garden! I felt like having a party! I am diligently watching out for any of his buddies. I hope we get rain too!
Oh, that's a familiar look. He's definitely scouting ahead to find food for the herd. Actually, females can have antlers, too. I've had to research the marauding bandits so much!
We got rain last night! The thunder woke me up several times. I've not checked the depth of saturation, but the heat and humidity is supposed to fire up more storms this evening.
It is a tough summer for even the drought-tolerant plants. This is the first really good rain here in six weeks.
That tomato looks delish!! No rain here yet. Fingers crossed.
That purple tomato looks very interesting. I am growing a pineapple tomato this year, can't wait to taste it!

Dave,
Cherokees are my favorite! Meg brought a big one home from a home visit of one of here new kids in her class. Hope you can keep those deer away!
