Good Monday morning everyone!

We had rain last night!!! A good soaker!!! You could almost hear the poor grass slurping

Maybe now they can lift the burning ban and everyone can stop holding their breath waiting for the wildfires. We are officially back into a drought situation (another El Nino year). We lost our snowcover early this year and then no rain so the green up didn't come. ALL we had was a lot of crisp, dry, brown everywhere and piles of dead winter damaged limbs mixed with dry leaves, not good. We were under a severe storm warning but all the nasty stuff went to our south. We didn't even get much wind or lightening, thank you Lord.

Love everyone showing off their hard work with their pics and all the baby pics too!

Alaskan-sorry for your loss. Tends to be the bad side of this time of year.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We played hooky and went to an antique tractor plowin'. I really enjoy watching those old machines doing their stuff, especially the steamers. I also get a great kick out watching all the small older "pucka pucka" motors chuggin' away shucking corn, drawing water and such.


tried to upload a video of one of the larger ones starting up but I got an "illegal file" error, oops.

What was really cool was they had one of the old tractors pulling a seated wagon you jumped on and they would go out in the field and drive right beside one or two of the tractors plowing so you got to go ride beside them down the field.



Thought I had better pics but I was having serious digital "operator errors" from my phones (kept getting my finger in the
way but the sun was so strong I couldn't see my screen

)

Chicki, glad you got some rain; sounds like just the kind you needed, too!

That sounds like a great way to play hooky. I have always loved looking at that sort of stuff in museums; seeing it actually working sounds much cooler!

Been trying to get out of this job I've HATED for months, my favorite alternative just called and hired me so I stopped working and quit other job as soon as they called and came home to spend time with the mrs, the babies and ya'll! It's 84 out there, I'm not spending but so much time out there right now...
