So this weekend is the famous "Star Trek" festival in the county we live in, and the town puts on a big fair, not unlike the summer fair in thousands of small towns across N America, except this one has a "Star Trek" theme. Why? The name of the town happens to be the name of a famous "planet" in the Star Trek universe, and the county wants to capitalize on that, and bring in tourism. Good idea, I suppose, but really, really, really nerdy! We did see the parade this morning, which, thankfully was mostly just average hillbilly floats, the Shriners cars, and a pipe band. There were more floats than I expected, and I did get some pics, which I will upload a few of next post.
We got some ice cream, filled up the water tank, and came home.
My wife is in another town at the moment, she went to visit a friend, so as soon as she returns, were going for a free swim!
Oh, I planted a few more tires, I now have about 25 tires sitting out here, and about 4 of them filled with dirt (but they're the biggest ones!) I soaked a pile of broccoli and asparagus seeds in water for about 36 hours, then I put them right on top of the soil, and covered them with straw. Hopefully the seedlings will punch through the straw layer, and start growing soon!
We have had almost no moisture in the last 6 days, and none predicted for the next 6, and June is supposed to be the wettest month!!!! I have been watering the trees faithfully, but I'm starting to wonder if this isn't going to be the harshest summer we've ever had, both in terms of late frosts, and lack of moisture.
Lord, please send rain!
