It’s a beautiful morning. Just the kind of Saturday morning that I love. Sitting in the yard, smoking a stogie, watching the chickens eat and enjoying the coolness before a hot day.

The garden however is not what I would like it to be. The beds need replacing and something done to protect the produce from all kinds of predators. Rabbits have even begun invading the backyard. The only real thing producing at the moment are the summer squashes.

I’ll harvest what garlic there is today. It won’t be a great harvest but there should be a few good ones. We’ll see.
