Saturday

Here it is Saturday already. The week has just flown by. We got some good rain that did the flowers a lot of good. I didn't have to drag out the hose and water them. It has been that way all summer and that is good. Got the lawn mowed just before the rain. Was going out to eat but too many thunderstorms last night so ate at home. I really enjoy not having to make a meal now and then. It is a beautiful sunny day and I see a Goldfinch perched on the feeders next door.

Thunderstorms

We have been waiting all day for thunderstorms. The air is so heavy you could cut it with a knife. I just watched the weather channel and it looks like it is headed our way but going to break up and miss us. We could really use some rain. The ground is beginning to crack open. The grass quit growing nearly 2 weeks ago now.

Weather Changes

My husband mowed the lawn even though it was quite wet. If he waited till this afternoon it would be too hot for him to mow. I took the clippers and clipped where ever he couldn't get with the mower. We have a bank behind the house where weeds grow quite tall and clipped them all off too. We used to have a cottonwood tree and there are gobs of little cottonwood trees growing in the flower bed. I pulled as many as I could but it gets to you in the heat standing on your head pulling little trees and weeds. It is supposed to get very hot and then thunderstorm overnight into tomorrow. We have to travel about 25 miles from home tomorrow so hope we do not get any hail with the rain.

Thunderstorms

We just had a huge thunderstorm go through here. It sure scared Holly, our little Boston terrier. There was awful lot of lightning and thunder and we stayed away from all windows and doors. You do not want to be on the telephone then either. We unplugged our roof antenna booster. I also unplugged my computer as I sure would not want it to get hit. We got an inch of rain in about half an hour. Now the sun is starting to come out. The flowers needed watering, so now I don't need to do it.
