The radar apps on our phones were our friend last week... Or maybe our enemy... But anyway, we spent a lot of time looking at the radar. We had hay down, and had to check and see how Florence was moving and if/when we were going to get rain. Weather forecasts can change by the minute. Most weather apps have the ability to zoom in so you can see exactly where the rain is falling. Living in the country, it can be really important to zoom in. You see, our neighbor 2 doors down sometimes gets half the rain that we do. Our next door neighbor on the other side of us may get twice as much rain as we do. Why? They may be neighbors, but from the edge of our field to the far edge of the neighbors field can be more than half a mile away. And believe me...a half a mile can make all the difference in the world.  Last week, Daniel was looking at his radar once again.
And he zoomed in...and then zoomed in a little farther...and a little farther. Do you know what he saw?

Last week the remnants of a hurricane dumped 5 1/2 inches of rain on us. We can't complain because we have been relatively dry this summer. It gave us a nice break to get some inside work done, but always in the back of our minds was how in the world we were going to get our second cutting of hay in.  September brings cooler weather, heavy dews and foggy mornings. Hay isn't impossible, but it becomes more difficult with each passing day.
I have been busy lately...
Busy buying stuff. School supplies, uniforms, books, pencils, pens, shoes... All the stuff kids need for the first day of school. Then... They come home from the first day of school with one more item they need... And then one more thing... And then one last thing. So, I have been busy at my computer ordering all these "things" on Amazon. Because we all know how much I love shopping in real stores. I fill my cart with all the "one last things" and I find I am just a few dollars short of the $25.00 minimum for free shipping (yes, I know shipping is free for Prime members...but I am too cheap to pay for a Prime membership). But I got the greatest e-mail from Amazon recently. It is a list of some of those inexpensive "filler" items that I can add to my cart to get to the minimum amount for free shipping. So being the nice person that I am, I thought I would share some of my favorite "cheap" finds with you, so you don't have to stare at the computer trying to remember something you "need" to fill your cart. |
