July in the Lower South

I know, I know, we are half way through July, but egads I've had so many projects to work on. We have to get a yard up for the chickens, and as soon as we are done with that, laying boxes. Goats keep getting out and into the garden. I won't even mention the heat, but I will say I am watering twice a day. Squash bugs are still going strong, but feeding them to the chickens is so much fun.

Here are a few links I wanted to share.
Rain on the 15th, does it mean 40 days of rain?

Okay, hate to cut it short, but I need to pull up the radar, we may have a weather change on the way and I need to get some laundry on the line and dry before it gets here.
