Hands Full of Gold

 

Stormy day pic from May. It was awesome to see.  

The gold was a brilliant gold..almost bright orange.

We've had a long mostly dry summer since our early heavy spring rains.  My pond is about to be a puddle, but I am hoping that relief is on the way. 

It's down about 6-8 feet.  I think we must have a slow leak :) 

But it is raining this morning, so maybe we are on the way out of this drought. 

Much happier news: 

My granddaughter's wedding went off without a hitch.  

I wanted to share with you my sweet great granddaughters 

Hadleigh Jo 

Olivia Grace-

who would not stand still for photos.  Someone got this shot 

and sent it to me, but you can see she has been running and playing!  

and my granddaughter with her husband Josh

I hope everyone has a great weekend, and thank you for stopping by my blog.

Water 2.0

 

Yesterday's hail storm; more coming today. 

The sky turned almost black and Mother Nature was having a major temper tantrum.

I bragged a little too much about my Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter cactus. 

Then:

Now:

I had to google what the heck I did to it, and of course it's all my fault. 

Over-watering.  PSHAWWW.    Now what?  I hope it can be saved. 

First batch of refrigerator pickles- done!  

Thankful that our container garden veggies survived yesterday's storm. 

Speaking of thankful, I had a very nice, long talk with my niece last night.  It was so good to hear her voice, and the conversation left me with a warm heart hug.  It's been entirely too long since I have talked to her,  We usually text.  Texting has really messed up communication with friends and loved ones, don't you think?  

I hope the weather is sweeter where you are.  Have a great hump day!
