Wow! Just had a friend remind me " Blog Time"! Over a month since last post! Yikes. 

But, been a pretty chilled month for sure. 

For one thing. July usually means the figs are ripe. I  probably did about 10 gallon bags before they quit. 

I generally just picked a gallon at a time as that was enuff to clean and package at a time. ha ha h a

Also, the Dew berries finally played out but had about 6 gallons of those picked , Plus the amount friends picked. Had a problem with the first batch of wine I was gonna may. Not sure what I did but for sure did something different like hurring the chemicals I use which cause a big froth . So , that went to the trash and I started over paying attention this time. LOL 

And besides that , really getting use from the new Hustler Dash 34" lawnmower. Cutting my and sis in law Dee's yard. 

The Dew Berry in the 3 gallon bucket just bubbling away. For about 4 days was doing a set of bubbles every 3 seconds and after a couple weeks down to a set about every 30 seconds to time to  transfer it  to the 3 gal jug. 

And a week later in 1.5 liter bottles for a week then .75 liter bottles. Came out really well according to my taste test friends. 

Well all know I  walk the graveyard lots and the city has been doing lots of work out there to clean the gully that serves as drainage for the area.  I even use it as a new walkway at times.

Looking West. 

And now ,  Rice harvest is the happing things with thee farmers. Been seeing golden fields of grain for a few weeks now and last week saw the 1st cutting happening around here.  Much more sites later during the week. 

This field was off the service road between Roanoke and Welch. 

This cutting was happening West or Roanoke last week, 1st I saw in my roaming's.

Then moving to what's happening with the gardening.  

After production stopped,  cleared all the dead vines and kept the new ones for next season. 

The watermelon seeds I planted a few months ago and still not the 1st sign of a little melon so cleared this  out a few days ago. 

Then there is the new school being built and open house the 6th of next month I've been advised. Passing by  last week they were painting the guide lines for traffic . 

That about catches me up for the last month on happenings. Of course with a final message of life! ;
