     Lexi's graduation went well yesterday.  Thanks to the chilly day the gym did not overheat like it often does for graduations.  Darel did more walking than he has done in a long time but made out fine.  Just as I finished cleaning up after supper, preparing to go outside and weed, it started raining.  it only lasted long enough to give us 3/10ths of an inch but is was enough to keep me in.  I didn't even feed the birds.  Even through it was only 5:30 when I fed them this morning they were wondering why the feeders were empty.

      This week we will try to empty the greenhouse.  It will be too hot in the greenhouse for most plants and for people  next week.  It will be too windy to set plants out in the garden the next few days but I can plant my flowers.  The house and barn will shelter them.

      I expect to see more customers the end of the week.  The weather is changing just as school lets out and people move to camp.  We still have a nice selection of flowers and vegetables left.  We have the old standbys of tomato plants left but not many of the newer blight resistant varieties.  Starting Sunday, Father's Day we will be closed Sundays.  We are open nine to five-thirty week days and nine to four Saturdays.  We will be closed July 4th.

      Long range forecasts aren't always accurate by day but the trend usually is.  July looks to have mostly sunny days with high temperatures in the eighties.  Dry enough so we will may hope the thunderstorms dump on us but lots of excellent haying weather.

      Enjoy your day, Sally
