Picking up the grands tomorrow in NYC.  They will hang out with me for the next 10 days while their mom gets a break. We will barbecue on the deck on the 4th. Will do Hershey Park on one of their days here.

Great to hear of your impending retirement. 30 years over the road is tough but like Jon said "the things you've seen". Good luck as you head toward that day.

They said that it would rain but I didn't believe them so I did laundry and hung it out.  Suddenly we had this huge blow and huge rain. It kinda comes and goes with it's intensity but the rain hasn't stopped.  I sure hope it lasts.  I need the water for my pairs.

Get a free range horse that does not wander off   Easier said than done, I know.  Because I have a good horse I have only had to mow once my front yard once this year, and I'm in Mississippi where stuff grows fast!  Of course what she prefers are wild flower shoots. I sued to have a nice wild flower meadow,  No more.  Her second choice is my Saint Agustin grass which is what is in my yard.

The old horse has never looked better in the 7 years I have had her.  I figure that horses are more important than flowers.  She doesn't like my phlox which feeds the butterflies nor does she like
Cleomie, nor does she eat daffodils, Iris nor Glads.  She won't touch garlic.  The tasted my only pot plant and didn't like it but damaged the stem a bit.
Always move forward. Never look back.

Take a look at Dr Trimmers.   Wet doesn't bother them.  Tall doesn't bother them.  They are work horses extraordinaire.
