Well this month is just about gone but at least we got some rain yesterday and are out of the drought stage. I think the rain was the most for this whole month except maybe for a sprinkle here and there. We got two 1/2 inch rains during the day and it was welcomed. I think this coming week show more wet weather in the forecast as well. I haven't mowed in three weeks as its been that dry and the grasses sure loved the rains today.
I started the day with my usual well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All are holding and Ava and Sam got back safely with the youth group from Tennessee. Daughter Amy has contracted shingles so keep her in your prayers, everyone else seems to be holding. We stayed on the hill the whole day for a change as it was get ready for company coming this afternoon and will be here several days. There was lots of extra cleaning and food preparations as well as some weed pulling in one of the flower beds that was over grown with grass. Its been so dry and the ground so hard but with the rain I was able to clean out the grasses from the marigold bed which is around the fire circle. That kept me busy for a couple hours in between the rain showers.
I blessed neighbor Gerald and Phylis with some fresh lettuces and yellow squashes and he in return blessed up with some ground venison which is always a favorite of ours especially grilled like hamburgers, yeow. is that not ever delicious. We are so thankful for those packs which are vacuum packed. I vacuumed the house and did some other honey do's as well as cut and cleaned lettuces and leafy greens for the salad bowl while Nancy made a cheesecake. We cleaned up the leftover zucchini boats for supper which has become a favorite of mine and not nearly as difficult or a job to make like zucchini pie. Actually I think its more tasty than the pie, anyhow I have plenty of zucchini's for this bread she is making today but we didn't have any instant coffer which is in the recipe so we will make a stop at the Food Lion after church then head home to await Dee and Mike who are coming from Roanoke.
I did set and watch the Ray's whup the Yankees 9-1 yesterday afternoon as their bats came to life with homers and the pitching held for a change. We are excited for our company coming as we will be playing cards for the next several nights and eating "high on the hog" as the old saying goes. Today is Worship day and we will be back at Cornerstone after being under the weather last Sunday, LATER
