New Road Finished, But............

  They have finished paving the road and it is wider and very nice. Just waiting for the striping.

Looking south

Looking north

    But....the mailbox was knocked down. Not by the road crew, but by a neighbor hauling hay after dark!
When I put the new one up, I'll move it back a little!

  He came to the door the other night about 9:00 PM to fess up. It is mostly plastic and is destroyed. We had quite a time finding this one so may take awhile to find a replacement. 
  We are having warm Fall weather, as many of you are. Definitely a different feel in the air. But it is dry. August was a little below average precip and we have had nothing for over 2 weeks. Accuweather is not predicting much for the rest of September. We are watering things that we haven't needed to water all summer. 
  Garden work is mostly cleaning up beds, spreading manure and compost, rototilling and weed control. I will be seeding some crimson clover as a winter cover crop soon. We are enjoying the last of the sweet corn . It is corn that was blown down in earlier storms and many of the ears are smaller than normal, but it is delicious. Mostly Kandy Korn and Peaches & Cream. Still getting some good tomatoes and cucumbers as well as okra and peppers.
