HOT DAYS AHEAD

It's 9:10 a.m., nothing to say, just checking in. It's already almost seventy out. Patrick and Junior are in bed. Over and Out.

Later. OK so I went out to check on the yard, and pick up some more of the winter lumber in prep for mowing. It'll just be a few days now. The dandelions are blooming ( but then again, they bloom all year round), the Peach trees are blooming, the shrimp plant is blooming. The grass is growing furiously.

I will have to get three-buck a gallon gas tommorrow and start mowing.

I put the lawn chairs out in the front. I sat down with Patrick and read awhile, and let the first sun rays of the season hit me.

OK, so now I'm back inside and it's getting really dark outside, gonna rain, better do the dogs right quick. So I go out and feed the little devils and guess what? I'm rushing trying to beat the rain and I time it just right! Yup, just as I'm finishing up, the downpour comes, drenching me pretty fair, seconds before I make the porch!

It could have been worse--now it's hail- luckily smaller than marbles but bigger than peas--I hate the sound it makes hitting the window glass. The Rain didn't last long but it dumped an inch at least--now the grass will REALLY grow. This is that three week time of year just starting, where, when you finish mowing, the part you started at needs mowing again. Tuff to keep up. Are we equal to the task? And you ask why I don't fertilize the yard...

I am going to use some of this new growth sod, tho ,to fill in around where we put in the new hydrant last fall, tho.

THANK YOU, JESUS!!
