J & S left today, leaving behind the boys. They, the boys, are wearing out the pond with the rowboat, canoe, floats, rafts. The frogs are waving a white flag. The water is definitely being aerated.
Yesterday we had a intense afternoon T-storm with lots of boomers, rain, 0.75 inches in half an hour, hail and strong northerly winds. The wind blew down part of our best elm tree, an apple tree, lots of branches, half of the corn stalks and tore off one of the screen doors. We also lost electric power, and later the generator broke down. Today we have a gentle rain with still air and only distant rumbles.
I straightened up the corn and am hoping it'll stabilize.
