Rain! Woo hoo!

Monday, July 20, 2020
Hello friends,
              It’s still very warm and muggy, but much more bearable since we got 1.6 inches of unexpected rain yesterday.  At least I wasn’t expecting it.  I was at the kitchen sink cleaning peaches (a common place for me to be lately) and I heard thunder.  It kept getting darker and darker, and when I looked at the radar on my phone, a storm cloud had developed right over the top of us.  And it kept getting bigger.  Wow and woo hoo!  Now I know that not everyone got rain, so I am praying for everyone to get their fair share in the next day or two.  It was nice to not have to carry a full watering can down to the flowers by the sign.
              The ground beef is now gone.  I knew it wouldn’t last very long.  We still have soupbones but it will be probably January before we have any more ground beef.  I hope you got what you needed.  The butchers have been very busy taking care of business while some of the big meat processors have been down because of the virus.  I think they are back up and operating, but not at full capacity because of social distancing in the plants, and they have a huge back log.  Just like the toilet paper shortage, they will eventually catch up.
