I hear that, Sunny. Even when we had a yard full of brand new seed grass, it dud nit prevent the weeds from taking over. It happens.

We have a very hot still day here today.

Make hay while the sun shines is the way the old adage goes. And my addendum, and hydrate.

Yes, what Tina said. and when getting your hay in you do need sunshine..and the hotter it is the dryer your hay will be, right ?
BUT Tina is right..hydrate..hydrate...hydrate.

The kids are staying the night at their other grandmothers house. Along with their 4 cousins. I think the woman has lost her mind. But the kids are SO excited to get to do this.

Epsom salts are good for more than your feet. They offer a magnesium boost to all of your muscles. Nice feel for your skin too.

I was a recipient of your foot soak Junie. I buy my plain epsom salts at the dollar store but at the big stores they have it in different scents.

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th. I like them when they come along. When I was a kid we had a party on those days with two other families with kids. It usually involved popcorn and maybe soda and hot dogs, etc. Warm memories.
Sweet dreams all.

Tina, a few people will not venture out of their house on Friday the 13th....superstitions are so strange. I think a party was a grand idea.

It is calling for another day in the 100's here.....each year August gets hotter it seems. We have half our hay made and in the barn, next week will be the other half hopefully.

Did the storms pass you by Junie?

Hello..we had much cooler weather today..and some slight rain and some thunder.

The kids were sad though as we could not set up the slip and slide. So we watched TV most of the day.

Good night. Sleep tight everyone.

We were spared Tina but parts of the Southern area from us were not....they have a mess to deal with today. No touch down but the winds damaged lots.

We are cutting hay again today....it will be a long three days ahead.

Books? I can't wait to get back to the library.

Yesterday I put out a full line of comforters and blankets.....then had to pick them all up off the ground. My clothesline snapped in two from wear and tear. The old line has been tied and repaired to its limit.

I am leaving in a few minutes to pay the monthly bills and get a new heavy duty clothesline wire/string. thumbup
