what we have been doing....

 

We have been doing so darn much around the estate that its easier for me to show you in pictures instead of writing it all out....so here we go:

 

The cucumber seeds that my fellow Angel "Sandy" sent me, have exploded: 

 

 

Our first attempt at corn has been okay, and it has come in nicely

 



 

Until this past Tuesday night when we were hit with about 6 inches of rain in an hour and had some flash flooding through the garden. My Uncle is the oracle of gardening and said not to worry that it would stand back up on its own. It is to a point, but we do have some stalks that are just simply ruined:

 

 

Our neighbor let their cows out in this pasture behind our house, and they came up for a visit:

 

The boys baseball team won the "south division" and went to the championship game. but sad to say we lost. However, our coach is also the coach of the All-Star team and asked NW ( the oldest) to play on the team. We go to the All-Star tournament for 9-10 year olds in two weeks, and have been practicing 4 out of 7 days.

 

Between baseball and gardening, Senior built the Jersey Giants a new coop and we got it painted:

So thats been our week...just been busy, busy , busy because its that time of year for us around here. Hope you are all doing well....

Red Sky in the Morn....

Sailors take warning......

Even at the early hour of 645 am, I could see it out on the horizon. The clouds moving in off the ocean.
As I left to drop the kids at school, the first few pelts of rain started, then came the thunder.
" oh boy, another wet morning" I told the boys.
ND looked out his window and noticed a rainbow....

By the time I got home, it was pouring, literally training in off the Atlantic.The local radar was red and dark green.
 Gosh I love Florida weather...

Even the dogs knew it would be a lazy morning:

 

 



Finally a break in the rain, Senior has stopped calling so he must be back at work. It is 11:30 and I feel "unaccomplished". I did however manage to rebuild NDs, Lego Police Tractor Trailer Truck that the puppy demolished last night. If he had seen the mess she made, he would have been devasted- Gosh I am a good Mom.  Thank God I have the fortitude to keep the little instruction booklets.

Piles of Junk mail to go through and shred. Actually I wish for just one big bon-fire. How does all this add up so quickly? 

More clouds, with the promise of even more storms....
