We’ve had a few days of rain and we are happy.  With all the hot weather, the ground was so dry the grass was beginning to die.  Of course, I’ve kept the veggie garden well watered and I’ve watered the flower gardens enough to keep them from dying.

     I’m certain that three of the cantaloupes are not going to ripen they seem to have stopped progressing.  However, there’s a fourth that is growing like crazy it doubled in size over the last two days.  We might even have more sugar baby watermelons by the fall since the vines have suddenly taken off again.

     The squirrel has eluded capture but I’m not giving up hope yet.  It may have been staying out of the rain.  I wonder if I can find some peanuts this week to bait the trap.  It’s been burying some in the yard so it might go for them.

      We’re expecting scattered showers tomorrow.  This has been nice not having to lug the watering can about for days.  The only thing I’ve had to water is the planters on the front porch.
