It's quite pleasant here today, middle 70's, an improvement over yesterday's 85. Still hot to work in the midday sun.
I need a dog who will bark at the deer and keep them out of my garden. We chased 2 out this morning, and just now there was a doe grazing near our shop. I chased her away but she was reluctant to leave. I think she has babies parked nearby. She is healthy looking but thin enough that I could see her ribs. I did discover the roosting places of our barn owls when she ran into a small grove of trees.
Part of the drip irrigation system is laid out, not operational yet. My neighbor said he would come over this afternoon to help me. I ran out of drip tape, only needed another 40 ft, plus maybe a couple of t's or valves installed. He is good at putting all that stuff together, and I am a novice.
