A nice morning shower is passing through carrying with it lots of lightning, thunder, and a wee bit of rain. We have been getting regular showers lately, which is mostly good. The bad part is that the lawn (broadly speaking) needs far to much mowing. Theoretically, I should be out there today chopping it back, but given the rain and a lack of desire I will leave it until Monday at the earliest.

We leave for Arkansas tomorrow morning to celebrate father's day and carol's fathers birthday which was a couple of weeks past. It is going to be a quick trip, up one day back the next.

The garden is doing great. The grape tomatoes are producing in huge quantities, the cherry tomatoes are about to produce a wee bit, and the regular tomatoes are about to go all ripe and red. Some okra is appearing, and the green beans have about petered out in the heat.

Summer has settled in nicely down here. Even on cloudy and rainy days we get highs in the 90's.
