Today's 82 is the highest temperature we'll see for the next ten days.
I also see raindrops predicted on seven of those ten days.
So, maybe we'll get rid of some dust and dried-up leaves and see some grass grow.
That would be nice.
Yesterday while cleaning out my potato/pumpkin bean patches, I came across several baker-sized, unscathed potatoes.
I also researched and found the procedure for freezing carrots, so one batch has gone into the freezer. More will come out of the ground and go today.
The discovery of several more potatoes and the carrot project made me happier and a little more satisfied with gardening.
Maybe this year's production hasn't been so bad after all, and, by golly, it will be nice for a cool-off.

That is how old Dean Roy is.
He enjoys
Formula 1 racing, says he gets good grades and works part time at his
parents’ pizza shop. He’s also running for governor of Vermont. (Yes,
he’s eligible.)
On one hand, I don't know that a 15-year-old has had the opportunity to gain enough wisdom to make life-altering decisions for the people.
On the other hand, the geriatric geniuses of our political system haven't shown much wisdom after a lifetime of supposed learning, so maybe Dean Roy could be a good choice as a governor.
Bottom line, regardless of age, I think it's an understatement to say that we deserve better than what we're getting.
They were remembering Dolly yesterday on the back roads of Idaho and at Buckingham Palace in England.
There are so many heart-tugging moments of Dolly that she will remain immortal. Here's one I ran across yesterday.
It's great for scrolling through the photos. Enjoy.
These people live on the east end of the Sunnyside Loop Road.
It's nice to see that they change their clothes every so often.
The unique nature of farm stands around our county is impressive.
Lots of opportunities for home-baked/produced goods.
Not too many people at the recreation areas these days with schools opening soon and sports coming on strong.
Thursday Throwbacks: photos from the library of past events, moments, places and people and just stuff. Enjoy.
I haven't climbed aboard Lily this year for no particular reason.
Maybe with the cooler weather I can do that.
A day when Idaho voters gave a big victory to the people.
