Well it is only June 18th and here in Savannah, the heat is continuing to build steadily. Lack of rain and intense heat has caused fires in South Georgia and in parts of Florida. Tonight after dinner it was apparent that these fires are growing as the winds blew the smoke in and around the islands of Wilmington, Tybee and the like.
With the heat and lack of rain most yards are dying/burning off. Basically the yards are turning into dust bowls.
Ironically our garden is growing at incredible speeds. Thank goodness for an in ground well/watering system. Tomato plants have grown to over ten (10) feet in height and seem to keep going. The pepper plants are doing well as well. Toby's basil plants, well they always seem to be huge. She made fresh pesto last week and has sold most to a couple of neighbors. She keeps this up and maybe I can stop working all together.
Today a family of two Shriner children hosted a horseshoe tournament fund raiser as a way of saying thank you for taking care of their children. While I have no idea how much was raised as of yet at today's event I must say I was impressed with the organization. It is not often you see parents so appreciative of the Shriner's that they in turn begin their own fund raisers to help support the hospitals. It was truly a great day. And did I mention it was HOT!
Upon proof reading this I realize I am already bouncing around from one topic to another and only in a few short paragraphs. So perhaps I should bring tonight's thoughts to a close. But not before I mention a few great concepts. 1) Happiness is a choice, what did you choose today....? 2) laugh till it hurts...then laugh some more. Have a great night, check back in soon.
as always,
