I don't care! It's OURS. OUR leaky roof, OUR wonky water pump, OUR rusty wood stove lol! :) We just have to schedule repairs and things like that when the budget allows, but honestly, it's still a wonderful experience! :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-4138195777907904942020-06-19T15:09:00.709-04:002020-06-19T15:09:00.709-04:00Hi Debbi - everything is fine, just super crazy bu...Hi Debbi - everything is fine, just super crazy busy - many in my company have been laid off so I am doing the job of 3+ ppl at the moment.

Should hit 79, then in the 70's the next two days, with rain. By next Tuesday it will be up to 90. We're definitely seeing a shift in the weather pattern. At least we had a few nice days in April where we could get out and get yard work done. Soon enough we'll be complaining about the heat! Hah!

I've been trying to get pics of the foxes that are living under the barn next door, but it's tough as I need to keep my distance as well. Thanks for your sweet and encouraging comments always - it's so nice to be able to connect with people in a socially distant way! Be well, my friend.

It's crazy!! We actually got a little snow shower on Saturday. It was shocking down here, we don't usually get snow after April 15th. Here's to a warm up my friend...and I hope work gets a little easier, but I can't imagine it's calm with all the rescheduling that must be going on.

I promise to try never again to even think about wishing for snow--we only had two light dustings here in Nashville this winter. You've worked so hard this winter babying along all those seedlings it would be terrible to lose them. Surely it won't last much longer and you'll be safe to plant anything. <br /><br />I can't even imagine how badly the wedding business has been affected in this season of favorite months. Our former neighbors who were in the country wedding venue family business have had their lives affected hugely. Thankfully they also farm. But I know that Molly and Monkey have loved having their Mama around more and I'm sure you have turned out some wonderful meals. Let's hope that you get good weather soon now so you can grow produce to restock your freezer and canning next fall. And I'm glad you posted again here even though I do enjoy keeping up with you on IG and FB!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-32392295971311684442020-05-12T11:23:08.704-04:002020-05-12T11:23:08.704-04:00I see the same in my forecast and I CAN'T WAIT...I see the same in my forecast and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!
