Rain, rain, rain...

It is still raining. Water was running down the road again today. Jackie has a new lake forming in her yard from a wet weather spring above her house. I think we will call it Lake Jackie.

When it raines for many days in a row, I get the mildues, and turn gray and soggy.

Teacher Sister works crosswords each day in order to ward of alltimers. I heard on the news the other day that new research now indicates active minds may be more susceptible to alltimers.

Oh, Yes, and I planted my garden

Well, all I wanted was tomatoes. I cleaned out the bed in the middle of the yard where I usually put tomatoes and it was so dusty and dry I decided to plant tomatoes in my flower box up next to the front porch. Put in 4 early girl tomatoes and a few petunias and other flowers. They looked really good yesterday. I guess in a day or two I will go buy more tomato plants. I should clean these leaves off the porch, but Cheryl says we are getting more rain later, so I will wait and see if God cleans the porch.

I remember once I was complaining to my only older sister about the wind blowing so much. Sister told me there was good in all things. The strong wind would blow the trash from your yard down the road to another's yard and save you the trouble of cleaning the yard.

My words of wisdom is there is not need to mow the grass. Soon it will be winter again and the grass will be gone. 

After the Storm

Whee, did we all survive? We had hail flowing down the hillsides. Our road was a creek with water running from bank to bank for almost a quarter mile.








But our 2 new driveways held and husband's railroad ties kept the pile of dirt in the corner of my yard from washing down to the pond. The pond spilled out the overflow for the first time in almost a year. Greg's new culvert worked as intended and Lake Gregory did NOT return.
The chickens got soaked, but 2 hours latter they are out enjoying the sunshine and picking at the spoils.

God is in his heaven and all is right with the world. Ask and it shall be given. I asked for rain.
