Our warm, dry, windy weather continued today.  John and I got up even earlier this morning so we could get our walk in before the heat and humidity arrived.  Fortunately for us, the temps didn't get as hot as yesterday.  Actually, it was a rather pleasant day, nothing like what other parts of the country are experiencing.  We are forecast to get warmer temps through the weekend.

John picked more strawberries first thing this morning while I got yesterday's picking into bags and then the freezer.  Once he was done with berries, John spent the rest of the morning in the shop making a plant stand to enter into the fair in August.  He did a fine job combining several different species of wood for the top.

and padauk

John informed me we were out of bread, so I had to make a couple of loaves this morning.  We both spent some time today watching the news about the Supreme Court decision.

We have had some strong, warm winds over the past several days that have dried things out, so after supper John watered the garden, trees, and potted plants.  There's no rain in the forecast, and if the winds continue, watering will become an every day job.

to be working just fine
