On June 14 (Saturday), the storm had left Blackberry Homestead cooler. I checked the garden for potential problems and for problems.
Bruce and I took advantage of the slightly cooler temperatures and sunshine to finish removing the branches from pine tree number three,
Bruce used the chainsaw and the pole saw to cut the branches off. I carried the branches to the branch piles.
Bruce gathered up the saws and head back inside. We had a sprinkle of rain and I noticed a rainbow as I was heading towards the house.
The rain didnāt last long. As I walked the fence line, snacking on blackberries, I noticed this beautiful trumpet vine flower.
In all of the moving branches, tugging and pulling them, I twisted my knee a bit. I didnāt notice until later when I knelt on the bed. It hurt!! I had a slightly swollen left knee and it was painful to put pressure on it.
I iced it. I decided the ice helped.
I did not watch the sunset or the fireflies since I needed to keep ice on my knee.

Your tomatoes look delicious! Have you met your neighbors? Feel better with your knee. That can be painful.
