59F & very cloudy. High around 70F today.

Ron, hope your Mom gets the pneumonia under control and out of the hospital soon.

I should mow some of the yard if it dries out later today. We had some rain showers last evening. I got after the weeds in the garden yesterday with the tiller. Now if the cukes would spread out into the space I made for them ... Gosh, it's been a slow garden year.

Enjoy the weekend.

Good morning! Hot and dry: 73-99˚ today.

The celebration of Mike's life dinner, after the funeral, was really that. There were 8 of us there that had met him through TBN. here is a link: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...41237-tractorbynet-lost-member-many-us-7.html

Mike will be missed but he has taught us all lessons on living life fully by working hard and helping others.

68 this morning and headed to 93 today. Chicken coops are ready for birds. Well I need to go grease some fans and things but that may wait till after they get here.

Today's list starts with my building. The one year anniversary of its start is close, and one floor isn't complete. I'm not to happy with the progress. Just going to have to find time to get it dried in. Then I'll be able to finish it as I always have time to work on it when the weather is bad or ground is muddy.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 63° with fog this morning. Heading to 86° with sun all day. No improvement in my mothers condition. Back to the hospital this morning.
Thanks all for your concern.
Good Morning All.

Good morning, after a light rain last evening, another beautiful day today. 71F now heading to 86F. Off to work again, a new line going into work that has to be ready to run by Monday.

56F & rain this morning headed to a high of 67F. Summer temps return tomorrow.

Ron, sorry your Mom is not improving yet.

Sodamo, living arrangements and daily support as our parents decline is a challenge for sure.

My Mom is back to local driving a little bit. Her broken arm is not fully functional for strength or range of motion, and probably never will be, but getting out is the best thing for her over all. She has decided to stay with the Meals On Wheels program which helps.

64 and clear, heading to 91. Last day with below normal humidity.

We are babysitting one son's Chesapeake Bay Retriever, who is doing a great job of keeping ours busy in play. I'm getting a rest.

Another son and GF are coming by on way to NC from wedding in NY, so we'll have some time playing games outdoors this afternoon and enjoy the nice weather.

Reading about the moms reminds me I need to call mine today. Hope they get well soon.

Good morning. Rain just started and expected to keep coming for the rest of the day. That is good news as the fields need it and it will also help stop the ponds drying further.

Keeping stock in a field that has a fence line finishing in a pond is always an interesting challenge for the more adventurous sheep. There is always the odd one that decides to swim, or in summer, paddle, around to see if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. This year has been so dry they can all now ignore the closed gate completely and simply walk around to satisfy their curiosity.
