Good things:
Corns are starting to tassel: saskatoon white, atomic orange, morden, even one or two painted mountain if you look deep enough into the apex.
The neighbours are having a loud party and threw fireworks into the neighbour's field and looked like they started a fire, I was all ready to be fuming, but-- the kid who threw the firework came over to apologise, there was a lot of smoke but no fire, and they turned the deep bass music off by 11. There are still a ton of folks over there, lots of voices and loud conversation and some quiet music, but that's pretty reasonable and I'm feeling much better about the situation.
The dogs seem to understand that those folks aren't much of a problem, more-or-less, and sequester themselves in the basement if they need an escape.
If the dogs bring themselves in, I really doubt any bears or other predators will be by tonight. Maybe I should ask them to throw a party when I'm having issues.
Good company the last couple days, lots of conversations, and then company is going home tomorrow so I have some time to decompress over the weekend, do laundry, wash floors, find a sprinkler for my garden, do some more gardening, just breathe.
This afternoon's nap was lovely and much needed.
I have a neat spotty tomato growing in, I can't wait to see if the others on the plant are also spotted.
Goodness am I grateful for earplugs.
