I have been lost and now found.
About May Day my several year old computer croaked on me. $600 later I
now have a sparkling new computer and a lot of downloads from the elder one. In addition I got a 15 or more year old computer working again for use in Miz Anne's art studio. I'm still trying to get everything arranged the way I want it and had bloody hell getting newsgroups back. I did find out that I despise Windows 10 and Microsoft completely. What have we been preserving? Our sweet peppers are producing like crazy. Have put up four or five quart bags of chopped peppers this week alone. The pear, fig, and kumquat are coming along. The kumquat is blooming but we harvest the fruit in October/November. The four feet tall fig is covered with green figs the size of my thumb. The pear tree has at least thirty green pears on the limbs and, hopefully, we will get our first pear harvest this fall. We're still harvesting Swiss chard that was planted in early 2015 and also the kale planted then. My black crowder peas are blooming and running so I'm happy. Haven't had black crowders since my Dad passed in 1982 and Mom tossed out the heirloom seed. George |

Weather folk say we will get rain this day or the next day but they say it every day and still no rain. I think we will go to Kroger after a late breakfast and soak up their air conditioning. |

High of 84F this evening, 64F tomorrow morning, now that's a temperature swing. It's as hot as a three dollar bill out right now, we're hiding in the AC. Wife just came back from working in the church garden with another good sized batch of nice blackberries. We're saving them and then will make jelly. George |
