The week begins...

Another beautiful start to the morning. The sun is shining, the air is cool and light....temperature is about 74 degrees with a very light breeze. Its good to see the sun and blue sky for a change!
Fay is still up in the panhandle area...newspaper says she's smacking Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and even parts of Tennessee around now. All of those areas have been in drought conditions so the rainfall is welcome...to a degree...flooding is never welcome. More rain moved in on our area last night around 8pm. Thunderstorms and heavy rain lasted almost an hour before moving on through. The yard remains unchanged...still holding water in the normal areas, although, the water is beginning to recede and the tips of the grass are now visible above the water.

The deer came to visit this morning...two does and two little spotted fawns...right out behind the trailer...the spots were close enough to almost touch, if the window was lower. They have been hanging in the Palmetto thickets in our back pasture lately.

Hubby finally is back to work...hoping this week will be a full week of work. The past three weeks have been terrible for us financially. Last week was only two days. We really can't afford for this to continue. On the plus side....my girlfriend may have a job for us and the tractor as soon as some of the water dries up....will need to run out and shoot an estimate before we know for sure. Looking forward to mowing again...both of us enjoy running the tractor...I just hate running it in our front yard...can't deny I prefer the finished look the mower gives.

The humidity is beginning to rise as the sun turns all this standing water to steam...everything outside sure is shiny from all the rain. Guess I need to get things started around the house before it gets too hot and miserable. Laundry is always at the top of the list....
