Well, It is summer now, school is out, and since it is early June, it is also planting time around here. The farmers have until I think June 21st to get the cotton in the ground. This wouldn't seem to be a big deal, but we got some heavy rain a couple weeks ago that stopped all field work for a couple days. And we had a big rain on Wednesday night that also has stopped farmers. Don't get me wrong...we all LOVE the rain and we have been blessed to get quite a bit of it lately...however, when the field is wet and muddy and there are puddles, large puddles all over it, you can't plant. So they wait and will probably be working a couple 75 hour weeks next week and the week after....that sounds so crazy to me to work that many hours in one week, but it is what they do and it works!
Here is a picture of the hail that we got the other night with that wed night storm. I think we got around 2 inches over the course of the evening. When the hail started it sounded like a horse race on our roof...it was insane!!! We opened the door and watched...it got pretty big! I saw some bigger ones fall, but they were a bit farther from the house and I wasn't going to trapse through the mud and in the rain in the dark to find those pieces of hail. There was no shortage of hail this size close enough to the house. Also, the outside pane of one of our double pane windows (that was just installed last fall) at the church was broken by the hail...it was no joke!!
The other day as I walked out of the church, I saw Bria run over to this historical marker out in front of the church and start holding on like she was plowing a field...it is an old plow after all. It was super cute! Maybe she's a little farm girl at heart....she is our little Texas baby!
