Morining from the west coast.
39°. It will be 88° today and we have 3 days growth on Pumpy. Its not even 6-1 and this guy is going to be big in the limited space I have for it to grow. I just pollinated a backup yesterday. If corals grew this fast we would need to upgrade our systems monthly, lol.

They are very special seeds and hard to find but easy to make.

Add pumkin seed into can and bury. You will have pumpkins and cans of your favorite soda on tap, lol.

Thanks, got a lot to do but picking up my mother at 2:30 and heading to the lake. Barbecue chicken and ribs today. We were going to christen the new pontoon today but it wasn’t ready. I’ve only saw pictures but it’s really nice, larger and leather seats.

Poor Tiny couldn't jump up in one of the chairs and when I picked him up and put him in it he wasn't happy either so I put him a pillow on the floor and now he's happy. He's getting old and can't see as well as he use to which makes it hard for him to judge how high to jump.

We started the morning with a dog fight. 🙄

Dropped the in-laws dogs off at their house this morning on my way to work. Their male started growling at my Husky/Shepherd and they snapped at each other which set my Aussie/Heeler off and my two dogs started fighting and the in-laws dog backed out.

A little blood drawn but no serious injuries. Dumb dogs. My old girl lab didn't even realize anything was going on - she was curled up sleeping the whole time.

That's never a good way to start the day! Glad there were no serious injuries!
