The search for Tom continues----

Today we picked up a new turkey to keep company with our adopted hen.  We had hoped for a Tom Turkey....but instead we got a beautiful young hen.   So now we are looking for Mr. Right for two turkey hens-lol.  I'm sure the right one will come along soon!  Other than that things have been drying out here a bit.  We only got a 1/2 inch rain today.  Much improved from our daily average of late!  The heat of summer has started so the ground and garden are starting to show signs of improvement.  We are getting a few peppers and our fair share of cuke's.  Looks like this might be the first year ever to not have tomato's in June.  Our oldest son has returned home for a couple of weeks until work picks up.  This is such a blessing to me!  He is so much help and his youthful strength and humor are always welcome. 

We had a thunderstorm move through our area last friday and lightening struck something close.  The strike force knocked things off my wall, took out the phone, TV, Modem, and several powerstrips and lightbulbs.  It was quite odd how some things were affected and others were not.  I am still not sure where it struck but it was bright and made a sound like I have never heard!  This coming from an Okie who's been through her fair share of storms!  We are very fortunate that we did not lose anything important...no livestock were injured and no apparent damage to property.  By tomorrow we should have everything back in working order.  On another note the new roof is scheduled to be installed the week of July 6th.  Hooraaayyyyyy!  I am very excited about this.  I think this will really help make our home more energy effecient.  This has been a big goal for us and I am so grateful to see it happening.  I pray you all have a wonderful and peaceful night>faithfarm
