In addition to friendly sheep, our #airbnb also had an enormous #peony. Check out the size of these blooms! Can you see the two ants? The formations in the last picture are the #flowerpots at #HopewellRocks.

I was worried that the sheep at my #airbnb were not going to be friendly. But then I sat down with a piece of pie and discovered that sheep are just like any other animal. Scroll for the progression.

Our stop for tonight, home of the highest tides in the world. Can be more than 50ft from low to high tide.

We’ve reached the eastern most point of the United States. Can’t imagine why they need a lighthouse here…

Last day of #rallynorthamerica – Rocking the wagon at the drag strip vs a Hellcat – Never made the launch control work right by best time was a 12.292 @ 115mph – unofficially 3rd fastest of the day from what I’ve heard.

Maine. So far it is 100% fog. Having read a lot of #StephenKing novels I am concerned about the fogs of Maine. If I don’t make it out…

“A short hike to the longest single drop waterfall in the state.” Sure…you say short, I hear difficult! I know your games guidebook.

Rally North America has made it to Poughkeepsie – Great day on the backroads of Pennsylvania and New York ending at Dyson Racing – Some mistakes were made. We’re moving in the wrong direction going from 4th yesterday to 5th today. Resting up for the leg into New Hampshire tomorrow.

We used to pull these off of the bushes and throw them at each other. We called it a snowball fight! We were animals. They did not deserve that treatment.

Did not fit in the wagon. Could not bring them home. But…we could probably weld some up!

Harvest! There’s about two cups of #cucumelons there. I think I’ll take them to work and blow some minds! I’m going to have to explain light yellow #bellpeppers too. People expect certain things from their produce and I prefer the oddities.

I have no idea what this is or how it got here! It volunteered about 10 feet from my compost pile but I don’t recall ever planting a squash or pumpkin that looks like this. I guess I’ll wait until it matures to see what it turns into! Currently it is about the size of a softball.

It seems fancier when you add a little pickle slice. Thanks for the eggs girls! Happy 4th!

People often ask me what to plant when they are just starting to garden. I always recommend peppers because they are reliable and prolific! My ideal number of jalepenos is one. I just need to make salsa when the tomatoes are ripe. Inevitably I have piles of jalepenos well before I am salsa ready. Peppers are also easy to give away.

Work flowers. These are out in the middle of a parking lot, just pleasing pollinators and smelling good! I really appreciate that.

Locking the broodies out of the coop for three days meant everyone was locked out. What’s a laying hen to do? Dig an adorable hole under the ramp and treat it like a group nesting box! Good job girls! I appreciate your efforts.

Squash Lady Beetle larvae. Not beneficial. Got squished. Also, walks significantly faster than I would have expected for a hairy blob.

Picking blueberries with Glo. Turn it up and listen to her sweet little chirps! (Yes, she has convinced me to lift her up to reach more berries. Fallen berries are for losers.)

Cucumelons! Looks like a miniature watermelon, tastes like a fruity cucumber. This is my second year growing them and I think they are worth the trellis space!

Guess who is locked out of the coop? These idiots! They have the whole yard to run around in and they are standing three feet from the door to the coop in case it magically opens from the intensity of their glare. Not happening. Broody chickens are so focused!

You win this round, Nature. The combination of gravity, rain and squirrels was too much for my first round of corn. I got 6 ears for human consumption, about the same for chicken treats and then had to clean it out. Seconds round is already up and I have plans! Game on!

Not quite open? Not a problem! This pollinator was on a mission. He went right from here to a female flower and got the job done. Thank you!

Purple Cauliflower. This was my best one of nine. Never really got close to edible. I can’t seem to grow cauliflower here. I think it gets too hot, too fast and the bugs move right in. But I keep trying!

I have all the stages of tomatoes! Ripe, almost ripe, unripe, flowery, and just planted. All the plants are looking pretty good and worms are being controlled. I don’t want to jinx it but this is the best start I’ve had in a while. Fingers crossed! Oh, and we had four ears of corn for dinner. Take that, wildlife!

Another fan of my corn growing prowess. What do you think? Rabbit? Squirrel? Possom?

Erm…have I interrupted something? Bryce is still diligently hatching Ruth and Ruth is still diligently hatching zero eggs. My broodies are not bright but they are dedicated.

Despite my concerns that the corn was a failure because it fell down again, the Garden Inspectors have declared it is complete success. If they had hands they would applaud. Jerks.

The #cucumelons are about the size of individual rice krispies! Who is pollinating these? Mosquitos?
