If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

The Mexican Whistler ducks are starting to flyby in mass. They're always the first ducks we see every Fall, so I think Summer is officially over.

I have the A/C on again this afternoon. It's been dipping into the upper 30's at night tho. No frost, but it's not too far away.

It's been a clammy 92 here today.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Nope DJ, and none really in the forecast.
A week ago, I dug down about 10 inches and it was still pretty wet from a 1 inch rain 3 or 4 days before. So, I decided to plant wheat, turnips and beets(wound up getting radishes) this past weekend. I generally plant the 3 acres in front of the house to draw in deer. We're not allowed to hunt there. It's for my Wife to watch deer while I'm off hunting them.
So, I hooked up a disk and started prepping the soil. It was dry about 9 inches down. What I hadn't figured into things was that the soil was super dry under the wet stuff and sucked the moisture. And, it hasn't been particularly warm during the past week. Had I planted the previous week, the seeds would have germinated and died. So, now I have 5 bags of wheat, 5 pounds of turnip seed and 5 pounds of radish seed. I think I can put the turnip and radish seed in the freezer. The wheat will turn buggy if I don't toss it out for the birds.
I can still plant if we get good rains during the next month. But, I'm not real sure that it will do any good. The soil is just too dry down below.
