BHD-----BIG HICKORY DOWN!!!

Another tree fell yesterday. We had a rain and wind come through, dark clouds, flash flood warning. We didn't think that the wind was all that hard. but with the ground so saturated just a little wind will topple tall trees. This hickory was leaning the way it fell and Larry was wanting it down. It broke some limbs on the chestnut tree. We heard it go down and immediately ran to look for the cows! They were smart enough to not be under trees during the storm. Boy we have a lot of wood cutting to do, when we are able to get to it.

As for the ole wives tale of rain on the first/ rain for the next 15 days: it almost did. We didn't have rain on the 12th, but did the next day. I stopped trying to keep up with it after that. We all are wanting it to stop but know that in July and August we will probably be praying for rain. Everything is so green, but the gardens! We can't get in it to plant. The corn is up but who knows if it will make. We have tomato plants in the sunroom that are about ready to bloom!

The Ball Player

I'll let the pictures do all the talking!

Patio

We had kind of a dead space between the sunroom and the deck. So we had a patio poured, along with a side walk on the other side of the sunroom connecting the sidewalks, and a well house/garden shed floor. When the rain lets up enough for us to build the well house/garden shed, that's the next project!

Bags

I have been doing some sewing. Weather out is wet and with Larry working with Marty I have some time to do what I want. This pattern was too cute and I had to try it. I think it turned out good. I made the pink one for Susan and the yellow one for Gina. Have you gotten it yet, Gina?

Good day of fishing

Well, it wasn't a pretty morning as far as sunshine. We had clouds and a drizzle of rain before we left to go fishing. But it didn't rain on us and we caught some nice size crappie and 2 bass. Not bad for a day's work. I think I will have my bass mounted. For a 6 pounder, it is really nice. The crappie will be eaten as they are really nice:}

RAIN, RAIN, and more RAIN

If some of these pictures look familiar, they are not the same as some I've already posted. This is a new flood. Larry says it will rain for the next 15 days, because it rained on the 1st day of the month. I guess we will see. Right now it is raining very hard. I think we have had over 6 inches since May 1st. Can you imagine rain for 40 days and 40 nights? Three days of rain and we feel like caged birds! At least we don't have tornado warnings today.
