Got some down my way to but the weather gods still HATE me. Providing some rain was just their way of ******* with me.

Was planning to drive to sunflower fields north of Rush City late afternoon to try and photograph birds on the sunflowers. So, of course, here is the current radar:

That is rather ominous looking.

Why would you take your bagged dog poo and put it in the back of your truck to, I guess, put it in someone else’s trash can/dumpster, but you throw your grandkid’s diapers in your own trash can? Don’t have a dog so I really can’t compare the odor.

Peeps have been taking pictures of Indigo Buntings amongst all of the yellow sunflowers. Some beautiful images being shared by peeps I know and I wanted in on the action. This was my shot today as the season is short for letting peeps tour the farm this year, drought has interrupted that.

Can't go tomorrow, rare visit by an old college buddy from Iowa, need to rescue him from a family memorial thingies he doesn't want to attend. Last day they are open is Sunday and weather looks bad again.

Those appear to be some mighty colorful sunflowers...

Neither odor is particularly pleasant.

Batten down the hatches MN peeps. I'm hearing 60 mph winds and 1.5" hail around 1700 tonight.

That’s like now, and would be afternoon.

Still raining but only got miscellanous hail stones not very large. Never saw winds over 25 or so.

I wish we could get a significant rainfall that didn't all come down at once, though. A lot of needed moisture running down the street gutter.

We have discovered that the only time we can really smell the goats is when we're in the hot tub. Not because it's close to them, but because there's something thermal going on...the hot moist steam kinda holds in the funk.

Well, a hired crew just screwed the pooch and I’m headed out to fix their F up.

Btw it’s that time I guess

Did you mean to attach the pic? I love watching indigo buntings, red finches and goldfinch’s when they’re flirting around. Haven’t seen a bunting this summer at home, and am away at the fair for another 9-10 days so may miss out this year.

I don't have any pics of my own, haven't been there, was just seeing the ones acquaintances were posting online. Made me REALLY want to drive up there. Glad I did not if the storms there were anything like the ones at my house.

The hail in Maple Grove wasn't that big but it was still pretty nasty.

Got another half inch this evening so that is just over an inch in the last 24 hours.
