We did get a little rain last night, and we needed it. Now we need a lot more.

Light rain today and we really need it. Now the goose berries, black berries and mushrooms will be filling out. Yum. I can already taste the goose berry pie.

Another near perfect day. We picked enough gooseberries for a pie yesterday afternoon.
Anyone else had one of those?

I am turning into a Forager. I'm retired and live in some deep forest on a primitive lake. Last Summer I picked some "Chicken of the Woods' mushrooms and last night my Wife took some out of the freezer and fried them in garlic butter. Man were they gooooood!!!

We are getting some badly needed rain today. Temps are back to normal in the 60s and 70s.
On Sunday afternoon Carol and I picked three pints of Gooseberries in our woods. Then she made a pie and we've been enjoying it ever since.
There are many types of Gooseberries nationally but our are the green and the thorny green. Don't let the thorns bother you, they're not very stiff. With this rain it looks like we'll have a great crop of wild black berries as well.
There several apps that you can get for you phone that identify mushrooms, trees, plants, birds, ect. I am very careful about what I forage and usually check more than one source. Try "Plant net", "Mushroom ID" and "Seek by INatuaralist" for birds and insects. I also have "Merlin Bird ID" for birds. If you want to listen air traffic in the US get "LiveATC.net". A friend of mine developed that one.

We got an inch and a quarter of much needed rain last evening. I will probably get the Kubota out today and repair any driveway washouts. This should guarantee and good blackberry crop in the woods.

A nice morning but rain is moving in. The Kubota and I fixed a bump in our drive yesterday. Love that tractor.

I'm doing yard work getting ready for the 4th but it keeps raining. I've got the shrubs trimmed but too wet to mow so far.
Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon.
They lied again. It's overcast and drizzling. It's supposed to rain tomorrow too but the 4th looks good so far.

The weather has been beautiful for the last week.
My contractor delivered a load of lumber yesterday so I can rebuild our mailbox array. It is a roofed over complex of seven mailboxes with anther shelf for packages. It's in sore shape as it has been knocked down three times, (mostly by snow plows), and just patched up. Now a full rebuild. Fortunately I have a set of forks for my 3710 loader that I can use to move some of the larger pieces around. It pays to be prepared.

We're in the middle of a heat wave with temps in the 90s today and tomorrow. I'm just working in my ACd shop and staying out of the sun.

On top of the heat wave we now have smoke from wild fires in northern Minnesota and Canada. It will be a good day to stay indoors.

It finally cooled off for a while so I'm getting some outdoor work done. I have a set of forks that attach to the bucket, (made in China but really seem to be of high quality), so I used them to set up a work station out by the pole barn and moved the 12 foot 4x6s out there. Today I will start cutting. I'm repairing our seven unit mailbox setup with a roof and all.
