Steaming hot

Well it suddenly turned hot and I mean steaming hot, literally. We have had a week of thunderstorms and tornado watches (luckily no tornadoes came our way). It is 90 degrees right now and it is only expected to get down to the 70s, am I complaining, not!

This week has been busy what with catching up on household chores and outdoor chores. With this heat our little garden is finally starting to come alive and we have been harvesting spinach the last week.

Don has just harvested spinach for a fresh salad tonight for dinner!



Our tomato plants, I did not think they would make it but they did, and right now they are beginning to yield quite a few flowers.



This is my flower garden, it is kind of hard to see in the shade but have a scattered garden growing there. I planted all kinds of colorful flowers and they are finally starting to spread.

This last weekend we went and saw the Fulda parade. It was a really nice parade, only an hour long, and the Fulda band was outstanding. Apparently they are marching in Washington D.C. later this summer with a side trip to New York City. They are going to have so much fun. It was especially great to see them as 3 of the kids are in our parish. They are called the Fulda Raiders.

By the way, Anna and I are farming, yes, farming. It is such a silly game but one in which I am really enjoying. Someday I hope to have a house like Anna's, am working towards it, and then I cannot wait to get a barn to put my animals in. Anna has given me many hints as she has become quite the expert, thanks Anna!

You're welcome! I am at level 28, supposedly the Virtuoso Farmer; if this were for real, though, I think I'd still be quite a greenhorn. Farm Town is just fun, though - silly as it is! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
