The guy started our landscaping but had to stop due to rain. We went from
record high temps to lower than usual temps and rain. No telling what might
happen to our pears. The tree is loaded but they are dropping off, all
withered.

My guy keeps finding more and more things that need to be done. That's the
problem.

The good thing is that we do have plenty of food. And it's good that it
cooled off because during hot weather, we all want raw produce and that's
the one thing I can't keep a big stock of because obviously it goes bad.
