We are thankful for the rain over the fourth; you can shoot firecrackers anytime here in the country but we can only get rain when it rains.

The weather has been hot this past week. As I looked out the window my flowers are so pretty not even wilted; just turning the dog out I wilted.

My door knob garden is sure doing well, thanks to my neighbors, I’m eating well. I didn’t do well on my container garden.
