Good Mornin'!
72°, 98% humidity, foggy at 6am. Sun just broke through the fog at 7am. There was 1.1 inches in the rain gauge this morning. Drought conditions are slowly being overcome.
Had a wonderful Father's Day, our 3 adult children and one grandson were with me in church. Our son cooked steaks for our dinner, mighty good! I really enjoyed listening to the adult children's conversations. After dinner the 2 daughters headed back to their homes. Grandson wanted to shoot the Ruger Bearcat that I've had for way over 60 years. I'm surprised how well a 10 year old shoots the little .22! Loading, shooting, punching out the fired casings, one at at time with the ejection rod, gives opportunity to discuss gun safety. His dad shot and he asked his girlfriend if she wanted to shoot? She responded, "I don't want to embarass you! You've forgotten my nickname was Annie Oakley when I was a kid!" She then shared with me, her dad had her shooting a .22 single shot rifle when she was 6 years old.
After they left I took a long Sunday afternoon nap, complete with a nice rainfall.
Made my normal Sunday evening phone calls to Miss Joy's sisters.
Got through another major holiday without my bride. Sure is different.
Need to check the south yard, it needs mowing but my be too wet in a couple of spots to do it properly. Always jobs to do here at Starvation Plantation even when the yards are wet.
Y'all enjoy the day, soon we'll notice they are getting shorter.
