Hi Winds, so good to see you here. I was worried how you all were doing with the storms. We too have had a huge storm cluster coming our way but breaks up before it gets into our little neck of the woods. A city south of us, (can't remember the name...) evacuated 15,000 because of high water. Our own little river here has run over it's banks but has gone down. Then to day it was back up for some hours then back down again. It has been an interesting spring. I think mother earth just goes in her cycle as does the weather. Hubby says he will tolerate the heat in the 80's and humidity as long as he can thinking of how costly everything is right now. I filled our van today at $81.00... ouch! I found our youngest grand baby will take a nap if granny drives her around..LOL. But... today she didn't. She was too busy looking out the window and discovered "if' she stuck her hands out the window... it was very interesting..LOL. It's worth that to get her to take a nap as it is hard while her older sister is now on summer vacation..LOL. Too busy!!

The areo garden of tomatoes are doing well. Youngest grandbaby loves them as does granny..LOL. So hubby and I only got a couple, while she gobbled them up as soon as they were ready for picking and some not..LOL. Our electricity had gone out a few times and so the garden's light timing had gone askew..LOL. So it does have some new green tomatoes now but none are ready.  And she checks them out every day. We have had a lot of rain and by the looks of the foamy stuff going down our river, the farmers have lost a lot of fertilizer. It makes me wonder if we will be getting one of those old fashioned winters this year that I remember.

That smoked cooking is really good..LOL.

I pray all is well with all of you and yours as it seems to be here. Prayer is an awesome thing and what keeps me in calm.

Love and light, dear Winds and to all members.

Inner peace, ole Real
