It is getting very dry. We need to pray for rain. So far our yard is still green. I have been watering what garden I have, which is not much. Since it has gotten dry I have more hummingbirds coming to the feeders. The orioles are eating more jelly too. I have to fill all of the hummingbird feeders every day, which comes to 192 ounces.
Greetings on this sunny Sunday afternoon. Yes we are having July weather on our side of the county.
It is Monday. It is fair and 77 this morning.
Hope that everyone had a good week. Monday we went to Harrison to do some shopping. I picked up some paint so I could paint the front and back porch. Larry mowed the yards and worked in my garden. I did my weed eating down at Tammie’s and Larry did the mowing. I have to spray the fence down at Tammie’s. Melissa sprayed it two weeks ago but some of it did not die. I picked some okra, squash, turnips, and beans. Larry picked some cantaloupes. They were really good. We will have some watermelons soon.
Hello again this hot July day we do have a breeze which helps. We would also welcome a good rain, but everything is still pretty and green so things could be a lot worse.
July 30: Hello out there, hope you are making it okay in all this heat! Maybe we will have a break soon. It is almost August, so fall is not far away. Looks like next week it will be in the 80’s so just holds on a little longer.
Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. We had some rain this week that cooled things off a little bit, but for the most part it has been brutally hot. With temperatures in the upper 90s and the heat index being over 100 degrees. We are definitely in the Dog Days of Summer.
So far it is shaping up to be a very busy week. We had some very nice folks stop in to research their Ferguson, Schoolcraft, Love, McElroy, and Leslie families. They stayed quite a while, and we really enjoyed their visit. I visited by phone with some folks about Williams, Cowan and the 1909 school photo.
Drove to Mountain Home today. The traffic was thick and awful. Drivers were making the trip hazardous to health. In fact, did see one wreck. A man turned in front of oncoming traffic, what a mess. Everyone survived thankfully. So, I had to help flag traffic until the cops showed up. That was a hot job.
