Slow in posting "sorry"

Guy's sure sorry about being so slow in posting. Some days the news isn't worth talking about.
This has been a very depressing year. It may be my last for planting commercial crops. Yeah, its been a bad growing season. I still have plenty to be thankful for, and believe me I am.
Maybe I am just getting old, I know I get tired easy.
I have been working around the house, doing yard work. I do love growing plants. We have 3.5 acres of yard so there is plenty to do. My wife does most of the mowing, she loves to mow. I think she would fight you for the mower. We do however have a large riding mower.
About 3 weeks ago lighting struck a large pine here in the yard, so had to get it cut. I happen to be standing in the garage watching it rain when the lighting struck. I was about 70' away, the boom and flash scared the heck out of me. I never want to be that close again. Later with yard photos. Bill
