Rain and the Crops

We have been having a little rain quite regularly. The corn has really grown and will be knee high by the 4th of July for sure. It is so neat to see the bean fields coming up too. The farmers put in a lot of work and had to do it inbetween rains, but they got it done. The crops look good around here. I feel so sorry for all those people in Texas who have been washed away, losing homes, cars, even family. We are blessed that we haven't had any of that.

More Summer

Summer ends on the 21st but it is not going to go out yet.  We have had a very long stretch of heat wave again.  We could use any and all rain we could get.  The crops look good but they are suffering.  The air conditioners are working overtime.  Last few days we actually have been able to open the windows and air out the house.  Nice fresh air sure does a person good.  But now we are on our way to another long heat wave from the sounds of it.  There is a good chance of rain this Sunday and first part of the week. I sure hope so as we need it badly.

Friday - At Last

Here it is the end of the week already. Now that I look back, it went really quickly. PayPerPost kept me really busy posting and it was so much fun. Looking for another exciting day today. Went out and put fresh oranges out for the orioles and it is jusst over 50 degrees out and cold! They say rain is headed at us from the Northwest and it is beginning to look like it too. Holly will be upset as she does NOT like the thunder, lightning and rain hitting the windows. We will just be glad if there is no hail. The corn crop is just coming up out of the ground so nicely and we saw farmers preparing their land to plant the beans. This is a great time of year when everything is green, and you can watch the crops grow weekly.
