CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL ON YOUR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION!

See more party pictures here.

Here's our Community Garden Plots.

Mine is center, past the white flowers.

A blight has wiped out all the tomatoes in town,

 but we are enjoying the lettuce and other crops now.

Clever ideas:  Square Watermelons


A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerator

And the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves.

Smart Japanese Farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a

square shape by inserting the melons into square, tempered glass cases

While the fruit is still growing on the vine.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — If you’ve noticed that this past July was colder than normal, you are not alone. AccuWeather.com meteor­ologist Jesse Ferrell took a look at the record low tem­peratures on the East Coast and he reports some surpris­ing findings.

More than 1,100 daily record low temperatures were broken in July nation­wide, according to the Na­tional Climatic Data Center. When record afternoon low highs are considered, that number jumps to more than 3,000 records. An additional 1,200 stations tied records.

States in the Northeast and Midwest reported their low­est temperatures in the 50s and 40s last month, with 36 degrees reported in Michi­gan.

This is why our Congressman and Carol Browner chatted about Climate Change (we can believe in), not Global Warming in this picture I took.
