Getting Hotter 'Round Here

Somehow I missed spring.

The weather went from cold & rain just a month ago to miserable heat & humidity.  I spent Friday night watering the garden with every intention of weeding on Saturday but couldn't bear the heat for long.  Brady's been climbing roofs on various animal jobs and suffering as well.  Last night it rained and today's a bit cooler so we might be able to get some things done outside tonight after all.  As I write this it's getting cloudy - we may be dodging a few raindrops in between chores.

We've had a few severe storms here the past couple weeks.  Like growing pains for the transition to summer. Brady's ready to chase a few tornadoes across the county.  :)

The new egg business is off and running!  Amanda painted our lovely road sign and Brady & Cody built a sturdy frame for it.  Within a few hours of officially being "open for business" we made our first sale!  I even had a very nice gentleman stop by a few minutes ago looking for duck eggs.  Maybe he saw the geese in the back field. 

Our town has a month street fair on the first Friday of the month.  We're thinking about setting up a table to sell eggs and craft thingys.  Which means I need to get busy with the craft thingys.  I'm experimenting with a pink ribbon slipper but it may be too labor-intensive and costly for a craft thingy.  May switch to dishcloths instead.  Or regular slippers. 

What's Blooming
