Sorry to hear about the drought conditions. We seem to get rain at least once a week here. It’s been sufficient for the trees and shrubs.
I love antiques and antique shopping. Hubby says that it’s like going to a museum where you can buy things if you want to take them home. :)
The year we remodeled our kitchen, we were looking for a kitchen style hutch cupboard. We needed it to be pretty tall, and most cupboards were Hoosier cabinets. Then on one trip, we stopped in on the spur of the moment. Down one aisle was this most splendid hutch, perfect in every way. We made an offer on it, which was accepted, and it is the main focal point in our kitchen. If we ever move, this piece is going with us. It looks like a family heirloom, and for me, it is too special to part with.
It’ll be great when you don’t have to go back and forth so much. How’s your Mama doing?
The local news this morning is that the West Virginia governor just declared an emergency covering the entire state due to drought conditions ranging from moderate to severe. I would not be surprised if that didn’t happen soon for the western part of our state (bordering WVA). We had a good spring with lots of grass & the farmers were able to make a lot of hay (round bales everywhere), but since then, very little rain. Fields are brown, trees & bushes dying, river levels dropping. In some localities, water use restrictions are already in place. We are on a well so no governmental restrictions, but we don’t waste water.
