Still very hot!

With no rain in sight the heat is really grating on my nerves. I water, water and water...it seems that's all I do. Still praying for some rain...any rain!!

...I have spoken....

Finally got rain!

And, it was very much needed. Everything is dying...the grass, trees and bushes are wilting. It's been very dry and hot in my area. 100+ temperatures and no rain will do that. But, I'm happy that for the past few days we've been getting some rain. It's not enough but it's a start. I don't know if we'll ever get caught up on our rainfall but I know I'm grateful we're getting some.

Until next time...

What a morning!

Not in too much pain this morning but I think finding the frog in a sticky bug box this morning really perked me up. I remember a frog escaped into our garage and this morning you could see the back end of that frog trying to maneuver inside that bug box.

The bug box is a cardboard sticky surface that catches bugs, spiders, etc. Kind of our way of pest control LOL! Anyway, apparently the frog was stuck. So, I put on my garden gloves and took it outside and with scissors tried to pry it loose. After much effort (and sweating - humid morning) I was able to get the frog out and he hopped away.

Then of course I couldn't find Jack! Yep, he got out of the fenced in area and was in the process of pulling at the netting we have to catch snakes. Ohhh poor Jack - mommy spoiled all his fun. I yelled "get to the house" and he growled all the way back. 

It's always something at my house....
