Day 922: Every day stuff

Sixty-four lilies bloomed today so we are very nearly at peak.  I wanted to have the garden party next Tuesday or Wednesday, but now a cold front is coming through and dumping lots of rain from Sunday to Wednesday.  I'll check the forecast again tomorrow.

250 lengths today.  Wish the water would warm up, but it's not likely!  If I do 250 tomorrow, I will hit 30 miles.

We weeded and mulched another 20 feet of the property line garden.   Only another 150 feet to go.

All of my squash and cucumber plants are covered with the powdery mildew.  For the past two years, we lost all of the squash in the garden so this year I put the plants in pots near the house so they would get more sun.  A friend on Facebook just offered an organic solution to the problem, a milk and water spray.  I hope it makes a difference and saves all the baby cucumbers!

Tomorrow, we will visit Kathy and her family.  Steve will be part of the fire department honor guard for her brother.  He served 44 years with the dept.

Steve loves ice cream!  We stopped outside Cassadaga at the Snack Shop.
