Our land down south has been so dry that the trees are starting to die! Here is a picture taken this weekend in the campground. I don’t know if you can really tell in this pic but there are no leaves on several trees – last week the leaves were all brown. This week there are several more trees with brown leaves and the campground is covered in leaves like its fall!
I’m really worried that these trees will not survive. And it’s not just in the campground – the entire country around us is just like this. Thankfully we did get some rain on Sunday – I am sure it’s not nearly enough but it’s something at least. Maybe now the grass will green back up.
Speaking of grass greening back up – I drove home again through torrential downpours between our property down south and my house in St. Charles. Of course when I got home we had not gotten any rain and the land was bone dry still…. But there was a storm approaching. When I pulled into the driveway, Erik and Aubri were both outside watching the storm approaching.
We got a little rain here last night – enough that the grass in the yard seems to have sprung up 6 inches over night! LOL Well, maybe not quite that much but it has gotten greener and did grow a bit so I think I’ll have to send Erik out today to mow.
We have started some work on the ‘barn’ again. The flooring that has been sitting downstairs in the shop for a couple of months because it was just too darn hot to do anything with it (no air conditioning in the shop yet) – has finally stated to go down upstairs:
Bill is sorting the pieces in each bundle because some of it we can't use. So he puts it in a seperate pile to take downstairs to use in projects down there.
We had a really nice breeze coming in the windows – the county to the north of us got a big thunderstorm on Saturday night so we got the wind and the cooler temps – no rain till Sunday though.
This weekend Bill and I will be going to Jefferson City, MO on Friday for the birth of his newest grandchild. We don’t know what it will be yet but I’ll put the info on here once it gets here. Bill’s birthday is on Sunday so I’m trying to get some answers out of him on what he wants to do for his birthday – but you know men – they aren’t very forthcoming with what they want to do when it involves them. LOL.
