When my wife was alive we used to have a big garden. We had an acre of land, 1/2 of it was garden. It saved us a lot of money, we canned a lot and frose a lot of stuff. Weather has been hot here, staying in the house with air running all the time. Take care, stay safe. Hugs.
Before going to sleep every night, forgive everyone, and sleep with a good heart Here is to hoping that angels will guard you while you dream and the gentle breezes of the night will keep you cool. If it is too cold, may your blankets be warm as you drift on to a gentle rest.
Peaceful sleep sweer dreams as Angels watch over you
Guess what... our gauge had 1" of rain this morning. I got three beautiful videos of lightning in the clouds about 9:15 pm. While texting one of my friends last night, I said storms are all around us but looks like everything will miss us completely. At 11:30 pm I was outside again and got pictures of the stars shining bright above the storm clouds building all around us.
Around 3 am a small cell (not above that was at 11:30 pm) built up right next to us and came right over us when the bottom fell out and gave us our 1" in a very short period.
I keep emptying the trays under the potted plants but even them and my poor rose bushes (very few leaves) and other plants are not happy about the amount of rain they are getting right now, especially with the lack of sunshine. The sun is out but lots of cloud cover is around too. It has been months since the ground has dried out completely.
I grew up with 500 acres and cattle and we never complain about the rain and I'm not now. Because before we know it, we will be in a drought and people will have to hunt for hay to buy for the cows. So, I'm heading out with a smile to share with you on this beautiful and blessed Sunday.
Friday we got the yard mowed. Yes, there were ruts again in the same area of the yard. But then overnight we had 1/2" of rain in the gauge. My daughter-in-law, Evelyn, came to spend the night around 8:30 so we could drive about 45-60 minutes to Canton which is southeast of Fate. It is the world's largest flea market. Check out www.firstmondaycanton.com It is only open one weekend a month year round. Originally it was a great place to find bargins and unusual things. Now the prices are just as high as anywhere else. We bought a fruit cup for each when we first got there and ended with a corny dog. We brought nothing home! But we got our 10,000 steps in for the day and had a wonderful time! And now it is college regional baseball playoff time for my Longhorns! So I willl say,
what is left of it. Share your smile! I met two wonderful people today and we shared awesome conversations. There are so many wonderful people in this world.
"Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail." ~

Good day to you and wishing you a happy weekend. Have had some good rains which we needed. Enough where you could say ask for a drink of water and get thrown in the lake.Take care my friend......George
