How did your day go? I hope it was no where near as hot as it was here. It wears a person down.

It was a bit warm but very windy, and that made it feel a little better. It was a good day to give ol’ Betsy a long-needed bath because the wind dried her off quickly.

A couple of hours ago, the window in here started rattling and I stepped outside. Had to go out the back door because I couldn’t open the storm door in front. The wind was roaring and holding it shut. LOL
I knew there was rain closing in from the south but there weren’t any storms with it.

Haven’t had but a couple of drops. It got within a mile of here but wouldn’t cross the lake. It split and went around the farm.

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

Yesterday at Wichita Ridge:

How's everyone doing this morning?

I’m glad it didn’t get worse! So many bad storms lately, and they’re popping up in places that they never have before...like our neighbors 20 miles east!

I went out to sit for a bit awhile ago and it felt pretty good even though it’s still in the low 80s. Nice little breeze on the patio. The kitties were chilling on the cement.

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

You and Gizmo had much prettier day for your outing yesterday. Not a cloud in the blue, blue sky. Gizmo looked pleased.

It wasn’t even a storm. Just outflow. And after that, all that rain in AL that was moving up here started to fall apart. There’s hardly anything left of the huge blob that was on the radar.

A nice little breeze in the evening makes for comfortable sitting on the patio. Glad to hear you took advantage of it.
I sat out for a little while to watch the lightning bugs. It’s a little cooler here but it still feels good with the breeze. In a month, the katydid chorus will begin and I look forward to that.

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...what a beautiful blue sky!

Gizmo sure found lots of things to do and explore.

You guys have a great Thursday.

Well, I’m glad it fell apart. Besides, don’t the farmers need a bit of dry-out right now? Of course, what the heck do I know. All I know about farming is......absolutely nothing. ๐Ÿคฃ

I think I heard a cricket off in the distance tonight. First one in sooo long! It was a peaceful sound.

That’s the first time I’ve done that. LOL But it was late and I was starving. And that pizza smelled so good, I just couldn’t wait until I got home with it. Not the best idea while driving but I didn’t run over anyone so it’s good. :-)

I think everyone’s gotten their stuff planted now. I can see the beans coming up in the field across the road so that fella got his planting finished. Rain will be welcome.
One guy down the road has winter wheat that looks like it’s about ready to harvest so he won’t mind a dry spell. He’ll take out the wheat and immediately plant soybeans .... if the weather allows.

We’re in good shape here for now. We’re supposed to be dry the next two days, with more rain chances over the weekend.

A cricket? It would be nice if you do have some coming back to the area. Very relaxing to sit outside and listen to their chorus.

Yeah, as long as they stay outside, I don’t mind. It’s when they start their crick-ing inside that it’s too loud. LOL! Besides, who needs another bug running around.

Guess I’d better go. I didn’t get a nap this afternoon and I’m knackered. See ya tomorrow!

Yeah, it does get irritating if they get inside. I haven’t had a problem with them at this house but they found all kinds of cracks to get through at the old house. The cats would go nuts trying to find them. I would, too, because I wanted to get them back outside.

Outside, they’re wonderful and soothing. Together with katydids .... oooooh yeeeeaaahh.

No nap and you stayed up this late? Must have been a good show. LOL Sleep well. Catch ya yomorow
