Kyle is BUSY and a Garden Tour

 Here is a peak at some of the stuff he did
on Tuesday to keep himself occupied.


Why, yes, that IS a lot of fuel cans.
But it's hurricane season.
And he runs lots of equipment and often
has need of fuel.
(There are two 55 gallon drums full
in the barn as well - he loads them on the
trailer if he is doing an all day job with the Cat.)
(And of course when they go off for hurricane clean-up.)

This looks a GAZILLION times better than it did!
We call this the pump room.
It's kind of like a little garage but without the door.
The pool stuff was in there, until we got rid
of the big pool.
The water heater and softeners are in there.
And a bunch of other stuff.
But now it's all neat and tidy on shelves.

YEA!

Speaking of looking good,
the garden is looking lovely.


My latest batch of okra are blooming daily.


Even if I didn't love okra, I would plant these.
They are so beautiful!


It cracks me up these are sweet potato vines
from some sweet potatoes I bought at the grocery
store and didn't cook soon enough.


The sunn hemp is coming along nice and hopefully
doing the job it was planted for.
(get rid of the nematodes and add nitrogen to the soil...)


It's WAAAY too hot for tomatoes in August.
But this yellow tomato is still doing its best to
provide us with yummy fruit.

No pictures today of the new steers...
but maybe I'll try to snap one in the morning
before class.
Tomorrow is my last day of teaching BOTH
morning and evening sessions.

There you have it. After spending the day at Town Hall and then
teaching a class this evening, I'm DONE for the day.
Heading off to bed.

UPDATE:
Kyle's wasp stings are ITCHING like crazy.
So I guess that means they are healing?
We watched carefully for signs of allergic
reaction and/or cellulitis but he looks clear
for both... now he just wishes they weren't
exactly where the hem of his shorts rubs.
SO ITCHY!
The ones on his ankle are still a bit swollen, but getting better.
