A strong thunderstorm came through while I was working at the parking ramp. Good Spirits, thank you for the needed moisture--1.7 inches of rain. Some limbs down but no straight lines winds, lightning strikes, or hail damage that I have heard of
Those pesky down woodpeckers drilled golf ball size holes in the window sashes and siding on the north side of the house. I spackled those in tonight and we will sand, prime and top coat over the next several days.
The June berries are especially plump and lush this evening. About one half gallon--Jane will make muffins with them. The apple tree from Dad's tree nursery is shading out the lower, commercial June berry bushes so they produce no fruit.
That pie apple tree is such generous fruit producer that we hate to trim it back to help the June berry bushes. Ten years ago, when I planted this stuff so close together, I did not imagine an apple tree 17 feet high and 12 to 14 feet wide, covered with fruit.
The June berry bushes that reach 10 or l1 feet high are able to produce decent, sweet fruit.
The high wind took over some blue delphiniums that were in full blossom and 6 feet high, so we cut them off so Jane could make a bouquet of them for the kitchen table.
Good Spirits, thank you for a great day, and may your people open up their hearts and minds to receive you.
