More gardening as you might expect–we mostly harvested tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and melons. The Honeydews are the biggest I have ever seen. We tried growing them in the past, but never with great success. The cantaloupes are stolen as fast as they ripen to our chagrin–the voles seem to favor them, like Grandpa Cliff.

Grandpa Cliff was busy with irrigating (with our old wheel lines that is an adventure). He also did considerable tractor work, repaired whatnot, and sprayed weeds. The latter I prefer we not do any more than necessary, but shucks we cannot forego it entirely.

Tucked Away

I am trying to work on the stuff of life–we eliminated a lot. Regardless, getting things organized and stowed succinctly seems to be ongoing. The process continues. Yesterday, I went through at least four boxes of items. I found a few treasures–newspaper clipping of every sort imaginable–our son as an Ontario Tiger Basketball player making the sports page, the Three Cliff’s Sanctuary as a featured article, numerous clippings featuring Cliff’s mother (Zeola) who chaired and co-chaired the Red Cross Blood Drive for years. Oh and a blast from the past back in our day of working with At-risk Teens.
