Sleeping--the Best Rest.

 Sleeping—the Best Rest.

 

Sitting here soppy wet with bodily fluids—sweat, to be exact. It’s currently only 88 degrees, but it is supposed to get up to 94. You can bet it will be higher than that out here—especially in the sunshine. Even the dogs are happy to come inside under the AC.

 

Patty’s got a couple of small tree sprouts that are beginning to take off next to her concrete stairways. Have my clippers and white vinegar ready to take down either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Some of her friends got some of the mess from around the cedar tree yesterday, so now it is possible to see the tree and the fence behind it. Think she plans to have Blake the yard guy do some weed eating so she won’t lose a small dog in all that growth.

 

Sterling told me this morning that they have had about three inches of rain this week. He gripes because he will have to mow. I moan because nothing is growing. Gotta be a happy medium in there somewhere. But he also told me he vacuumed and mopped this morning. Made me feel plum lazy cause my floors need the same treatment.

 

Wondering if the DFW area is getting the hen egg-sized hail that has been forecasted for this evening. Seems Henryetta, OK, got a good pounding today. These lovely hot flashes across Texas and Oklahoma have hit a few cool fronts to make very interesting storms. So, could we just have some rain instead? No hard winds and hail are really needed. Hail does not translate into inches of moisture for the ground despite the fact that they can cover the ground. Oh well. May God bless us with protection from the storms and send us the rain that is so desperately needed.

 

Between the hens and the pullets, seven to eight eggs are appearing each day. Since Jenn plans to come sometime week after next, maybe enough eggs will accumulate to send home some to both her home and Lance’s.

 

Ordered some funny things for daughter-in-law’s birthday today. One of the things was a sticker book that says, “I adulted today.” It made me giggle that it was on her wish list. She also had a librarians’ coloring book on that list. Yes, that made me smile, too.

 

Think the world and all that is in it are in the normal level of craziness, so nothing said here will change or enlighten anyone’s viewpoint. Let’s just be grateful that God gives us the rest we need when we get some sleep. Even when our sleep is interrupted by weird dreams of husbands who want us to make cornbread, at least we can sleep around the baking duties. May your dreams be joyful memories.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
