Leave your stress at the garden gate. But take some weeds with you when you leave!

 Cloudy with some fog.  Occasional showers possible in North Bradford this morning, other places likely to see more.  Scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.  A high of 74 today with a SSE breeze and a low of 57 tonight.  Partly cloudy Tomorrow with a WNW breeze, a high of 82 and a low of 55.  Sunny on Friday with a south breeze, a high of 86 and a low of 59.  Possible morning thunderstorms Saturday with a stiff WSW breeze, a high of 78 and a low of 52.  Some cloudy Sunday with a light west wind, a high of 75 and a low of 54.  Sunny Monday, July 4th, with a strong WNW breeze, a high of 80 and a low of 55.  Some cloud Tuesday with a west breeze, a high of 84 and a low of 59.  Showers next Wednesday with a stiff SSW breeze, a high of 80 and a low of 58.  Possible early morning showers next Thursday with a WSW breeze, a high of 84 and a low of 57.   Some clouds next Friday with a west breeze, a high of 84 and a low of 57.  Scattered thunder showers for the weekend of the 10th and 11th, lasting into Monday with highs in the low to mid eighties and lows in the high fifties.

      Except for some herbs the garden is planted.  Now we will work on weeding and mulching.  Beet greens and lettuce are coming out of an section that we'll plant with the fall broccoli and cauliflower.  I got some flowers planted yesterday.  I have to replant part of a box in front of the garage.  We have a chipmunk that has not yet meant the cat.  It is stealing sunflower seeds from the barrel and burying them in the box.  The chickens see him and rush over to scratch and find the seeds.  For now I'll put a piece of fencing over the box to deter the hens.

      All the hay mowed is in the barn.  It is not a very good hay forecast.  I hope we get some rain out of it. Thanks to the lack of snow last winter and below average rain fall the hay isn't very thick this year.   This morning the radar shows the rain breaking up and going northeast and southeast of us.  There is enough fog so I can wait and see if we get a thundershower this afternoon before I water.

      Have a good day, Sally
