I drove to see Carrie at Possum Manor West today.  The weather called for rain most of the day, but I challenged the prediction and rode the whole way with the top down.  While I was there it thundered, lightening, and poured rain.
I took this at the overlook on the way home.

On the way home [...]

I go back to school two weeks from yesterday. It is still July….so depressing.
I watched an episode of “Mystery Diagnosis” this morning, and this afternoon I am sure I have symptoms of three very odd and weird diseases. I am not going to watch again.

We did the trolley tour, Mike, Brooke and I. Mike is my nephew, Brooke is his wife and as far as I am concerned my niece. Loved having them. It was soooo damn hot. The bank said 94, but I think it was wrong.  We had a great time though.

First, you have to hear about today.  it was one of the hottest days of the summer, and our power went out for about three hours.  I heard, “Boom!” and the lights went out. I did not care about the lights necessarily, as it was a bright day. But, the air conditioning went out, and  [...]

This morning I cleaned out the chicken coop.  If you could have heard them, you would have thought I was killing them all. They carry on so when I am in there with NO food.  I have learned not to spend the time putting the clean straw in all neat and even. They put it [...]

Actually, they were driven up the mountain in a Prius.  The hens are having a bit of a crisis, but by tomorrow they will have forgotten the chicks were even here. I will clean the coop out, put in new straw, and all will be grand.
I took a few videos this morning, in preparation for [...]

What is a stacation?  It is a vacation where you stay at home.  We are going to do things around here.  Today we just putzed around, and I started another good book. For dinner we grilled hot dogs (mine were turkey), and we included homemade potato salad ( I made pretty darn good potato salad) [...]
