It's July already!

We're starting to settle into a rhythm with the puppy. He's still getting up in the middle of the night wanting to go out.

Well, well turns out some folks did have fireworks for the 4th, 5th, and 6th, OMG the skeeters are bad though.

We picked up the new car yesterday. Hyundai Santa Fe

Winston was off to get his 1st round of puppy shots at the vet Wednesday. He did fine, he slept a lot today.

Winston

Zebulon

Winston & Zeb wrestling, it looks worse than it is, Zeb is very gentle with little Winston.

I thought all the mushrooms in the yard was bad, the slugs this year are wicked too. They're everywhere.

Our dehumidifier is working overtime in the basement this week.

Veronica

Camper dehumidifier emptied out. I checked the battery attached to the solar setup today.

Roses clothespin bag has someone repeatedly trying to build a nest inside it over the past day or so, probably a chippy.

It's supposed to be a Scorcher Thursday and then again on Friday, before it gets too hot this morning I trimmed up a bunch of the bushes we've been talking about making it difficult to mow and otherwise get around the property. With all the rain everything is sprawling like crazy here on the farm. I got Dad's Plum tree trimmed pretty good, as well as the Russian Olive trees along the property line that I'd already trimmed heavily in the spring! Four trailer loads later I was done.

I mowed the road out in the field and along the workshop already almost 2 feet tall in spots.

Rose & I getting trampled with all the gotta-do stuff around here this year!

I got the foundation sprayed for bugs, we've seen Black Ants crawling around.

Bear hasn't been back since tipping the grain barrels that one time several weeks ago.

Rose got the kiddie pool filled for the pups Thursday morning, they had a blast after lunch today.

TD BANK! on Thursday Oh No, Great! "Due to a temporary system issue, Customers are unable to access up-to-date account information online, in person or over the phone. Thanks for your patience as we work on a fix as quickly as possible." I think we may finally be done with them! Numerous "to many to mention" issues over the years, the bank is just too convenient for us is the problem! Something else to do, we'll add it to the list!

Grape Jelly/Jam for the birds, How is it possible I'd never heard of this before this year? It's amazing the number of birds that love this stuff, Downy woodpeckers, Catbirds, Sparrows, and a couple Orioles and their hungry brood, they're teaching their fledglings to land on the dish with the jelly.

We're off to pickup grain and another deer block today. We got two over in Hooksett, these blocks are bigger and are mostly big grains everyone including the crows love them.

Winston is not so sure about the sprinkler, Zeb loves it though.

Maddies back for the weekend, we'll stop over Dad's to see her off, she's heading to Utah at the end of the month.

Jarrod's family is up north camping, the campground they are at got deluged Friday, 2" in a short time, he said there was 2" of water everywhere, they managed to stay dry, others didn't fare as well.

That's it for homestead news...

Cocaine found in White House, a big surprise...

Karine Jean-Pierre Wants Everyone to Know that Joe, Jill, Hunter and Entire Biden Family Were Away All Weekend when White House Cocaine Discovered; Strongly Implies West Wing Tourists to Blame

KJP: “Well, one thing I that I can share, that I’ll, that I’ll uh, share a little bit or more information, as you know the president and the first lady and their family were not here this weekend, as you all reported on this. And as you also know that they left on Friday and returned just yesterday. Uh, where, uh, where this was discovered uh, is a heavily traveled area where many White House, uh, West Wing, I should be even more specific, West Wing visitors uh, come through this particular area. I just don’t have anything more to share. It is under investigation by the Secret Service, this in their purview and so we’re going to allow, uh certainly, the investigation to continue and we have confidence the Secret Service will get to the bottom of this.”

Cover-Up in Plain Sight: Secret Service Investigation Into Bag of Cocaine will “Conclude” Early Next Week Regardless of Whether a Suspect is Identified

Today’s Democrats are no longer liberals; they’re authoritarian leftists who cheer on censorship of ideas they don’t like, and their virtual army of “fact-checkers” and social media moderators happily do their bidding. One component of this racketeering operation is a communication channel for lackeys in the Biden administration and/or Congress to collude with representatives from social media to determine what ideas and statements are permissible speech in today’s public square.

How much mercy will you have in your heart when your life savings go up in smoke, and you can't afford to feed your family - and the politicos are pissing money away on illegal immigrants, grifters, and scams? Would you vociferously object if a party came on the scene that put you back to work, restored the economy... and made people like Biden, Trudeau, Pelosi, and similar grifters just disappear? I wouldn't shed a tear, myself.

We have historically seen world conquerors before. They always fall apart, the perps get washed away by the tides of history... and all we can do is pray the incoming order is better than the old one.

Voltaire said "If you can be made to believe absurdities, you can be made to commit atrocities". We've already blown past the first half of that one, and are slowly dabbling in the second part...

Bidenomics: 30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate Soars to 7.22% Bidenomics = High mortgage rates, high inflation rates, collapsed banks, expensive groceries, record high rent, and dwindling retirement accounts.

The “progressive” Left, anticipating the Supreme Court outcomes, was primed and ready with prepackaged outrage about right-wing extremism, racism, callousness, etc. On the other side, conservatives were fully supportive of what they considered to be sound and sensible rulings.

Biden regime’s attempts to silence opposing viewpoints the “most massive attack against free speech in the United States’ history.” He added that the Biden administration has “blatantly ignored the First Amendment’s right to free speech” and that they “almost exclusively targeted conservative speech.”

Biden Admin will Send Thousands of Cluster Bombs to Ukraine Despite This Being Against US Law and Banned in 120 Countries

The Biden regime is doing its best to ruin the United States’ good name on the world stage. Biden has opened the border, flooded the US with millions of illegals, destroyed the US energy sector, blown up inflation, jailed political prisoners, indicted the top opposition candidate, cracked down on First Amendment rights, surrendered to the Taliban, armed the barbarians with 80 billion dollars in US equipment, pushed the world to the brink of World War III, and propped up an imbecile with dementia as leader of the free world.

A year ago then White House Press Secretary Jen 'Pspin' Psaki said Russia’s alleged use of cluster bombs was a war crime.
