1. Crop Duster (Sky Watch Friday)
 |
| Crittenden County, Arkansas, USA, June 29, 2019 |
After you cross the Mississippi River from Tennessee to Arkansas, the land is very flat, perfect for farming. On the way to our family reunion, we passed many miles of fields - corn, milo (grain sorghum), soybeans, rice, and cotton. At one point a crop duster airplane was taking off from a runway next to the highway.
As soon as he was above the treetops, he began turning to the west and crossed the highway in front of us. For the weekend, we had partly cloudy skies with high temperatures in the mid-90s. Thankfully, the reunion was indoors at a community center building.
2. Garden Update
 |
| Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 1, 2019 |
We have been picking 'Early Girl' tomatoes for about 10 days. They are smaller than I had hoped for, but very tasty with a rich tomato flavor.
This is our third cucumber from the 'Burpless Beauty' vines. They have been very good, weighing about eight ounces each.
And we might have figs unless the raccoons eat them first!
3. Althea (Floral Friday Fotos)

Althea,
Hibiscus syriacus, common name Rose of Sharon, is a hardy ornamental shrub native to China and India. It is often grown in gardens here in the United States where it blooms from mid-Summer into Autumn.
