A day on the farm

Friday August 17

I honestly believe that we are just going to keep on getting hotter temps. Today was over 100. There was some neighboring counties that got some rain this afternoon but here in our town we recieved none. Sure, we had some clouds with thunder and lightening but no rain. Surely with Erin and Dean coming in, we would recieve some rain from them. It has been over a month  without rain. Our lawn is brown along with our pasture. My garden is nothing but stems and dried plants. My flowers have burnt up. Hopefully, we will get some rain before too long.

I recieved another letter today from JB. He is making it some what better than the last letter. We are hoping to go and see him the last of September. He said he will let us know the exact date of family weekend.

I have posted some pictures of here around the farm on my other blog, www.2lmzfarms.blogspot.com I still can't get my pictures to download here on this blog. I know it is something that I'm doing.  I'm not that computer savey.

I went to a couple of yard sales this morning and found some things. I bought some sheets which I will tear up and make rugs, a hat, a nice wall plate that I hung up outside on the porch, and a denim tote bag which I plan on either putting my intials on it or putting yo-yo's on the outside of it , just to dress it up some. We are getting up at 4 in the morning to go and hit some yard sales in the town next to us. We have found out that it is true, the early bird does get the worm.

I hope at the end of this day, you will find yourself with joy and contentment

Whew!

Hmmm... I was thinking how very thankful I was, today, that the temperatures had cooled.

The respite was so appreciated, as I had another busy day.

I pray your "heat wave" begins to subside, too! Your noted temperatures, alone, made me feel sticky!

Love,
Carrie

hey there

I know what you mean about the flowers drying up..if I miss watering my plants..just for one day..they look absolutely pitiful!
Even the ones that are supposed to be "drought tolerant".
I really hope you all get some rain soon..and I hope and pray that it doesn't take hurricane winds to bring it your way either.
Sounds like you found some cute things while out garage saling.
Have a good day tomorrow!
