Praise the Lord!! We got some much needed rain. We got around 2" of rain last night. It was very stormy and some clouds had rotation but no reported touch down. Since the first of June this is our second rainfall, the other one was June 27, we had 2/10". Our yard is so dry and brown I haven't mowed since the first week in June. I have been watering the garden 3 nights a week for 3-4 hours and it still wasn't producing as it should be. I am just thankful for what we did get out of the garden. I got enough peas for 4 meals and have canned 8 qt. of green beans. I dug my red potatoes and got almost a bushel. I planted 5# so that wasn't to bad. My tomato plants are loaded so I hope they will do well. I have been saving tomato juice as I was almost out.
We have VBS this week and I am teaching grade 6. I have 7 in my class and they have plenty of energy. Rochelle is going for the first time and loves it but is tired from going away every night.
I have been busy getting ready for the upcoming Bender reunion the first weekend in August. I am hoping to see most of the uncles, aunts and cousins that I haven't seen in years.
Well I should start getting some work done to keep ticking jobs off of my list. I want to trty to get everything cleaned today then tomorrow I can go and do some much needed grocery shopping. It has been 3 weeks since I went so my list is rather lengthy.
