More Heat.

 More Heat.

 

Yeppers. It is getting hot again. Not 117 on the back deck, but hot enough to be pretty miserable. God knows—and we ask often—that we need rain. Oh, it could be a steam bath in some situations, but the ground is just broken open and begging for rain. Not sure how long this will last, but maybe there is some kind of benefit to the heat that we just don’t recognize right now. Grin and bear it, Dear Hearts.

 

Got more laundry done and even got it folded and put away. Yay me! Then, too, went to United and bought seven packages of chicken breasts for the sale price of 97 cents a pound. Made me happy even if it meant finding an employee and telling him exactly what was wanted. They had ONE package out of the breasts and the rest of the counter filled with legs and thighs. Chicken breasts make great chicken salad. Forgot to pick up grapes to slice up for it, but that is ok, too. Just bread and butter pickles, mayo, and chicken works.

 

Went to the feed store and brought home three bags of feed. One was wheat, one was chicken mash, and one was sunflower seeds. The hens waste corn and milo when it is put out for them, but the doves appreciate it. The wheat and sunflower seeds are an instant treat as far as the hens are concerned. Naturally, it is more expensive.

 

Patty’s friends went down and picked up a load of junk that was stored under a cedar tree. They still have another load to go, but she feels it is somewhat better now. May go down and visit early tomorrow and help her celebrate!

 

The Faith Mission resale shop is moving to the Albertson’s Plaza. That will make it more convenient at least for me when something needs to go there. And the place will be easier for them to keep clean—or we can hope. Things just change rather often, it seems.

 

An article online said that the North Texas State Hospital (WF) was going to be demolished and rebuilt. Patty said the walls of the current buildings are two bricks thick on each wall. That would be the equivalent of those great big concrete blocks. Just wondering if they will keep the patients in the old part while they demolish some of the 35 buildings on that campus. Guess it is not my problem. Can’t imagine the critters under the foundations and in the walls. But then, they will have to redo the tunnels for the utilities as well as the sewer pipes. No wires are supposed to hang around on that place. Its history is interesting, too. Can’t imagine my in-laws working there until they retired years ago. Garland handled livestock and the gardening as well as other jobs. Joy was just a person taking care of patients. But back then the CNAs gave shots and medications. Very different from today.

 

Really don’t know anything. Have not turned on the computer to look at news. And no one really wants to know my opinion about dog breeders and the need to make them be licensed. Horrified to see dogs being abandoned and never socialized or otherwise cared for. Don’t shop! Adopt! God didn’t mean for us to neglect our furry friends any more than our children.

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
