Boy is it WINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is your crop report - the corn has really grown the past few days and beans are up nicely. Both are blowing sideways today.























It is sure windy here today - and HOT (100). Last I looked, the wind was 37 mph and gusts of 50 mph but it sounds like it's 50 all the time. It sounds worse than a blizzard. My poor flowers were jut starting to recover from the wind and heat and now we're having it again. You can see what happens to mulch here. It does not stay put. Once Bill and Bryan got the edgers and river rock in the end of last summer, we planted some perennials and just hoped they would live through the late summer heat and the winter and come back.

The first 3 plants here in the 4th picture are dianthus or "pinks". They are blooming nicely this year. Our knock out roses were beautiful last year but died over the winter. We've planted new ones but they're having a real hard time with this weather so far.














We really like red vehicles but the truck is usually the color of road dust since we travel on gravel roads a lot. The only colors that really are "okay" and don't show the dust as bad are white, silver and the gold mist we have now. But the dust is always there and gets on our clothes all the time.
