What is your weather like ... today

[CountryEscape]

Colleen, you must go and see if she had the baby! I thought she was due in June, then changed it to July, and now it's August, so I seriously wonder if she was ever pregnant, or just with the change at her age, periods stopping naturally, then got pudgy belly, and thought it was a baby. :-( In a way I hope she was not pregnant, since she has not gone to the doctor, nor taken any type of supplements, especially with her vegen diet. Let us know!!!
John, if you have any solid black large elephant ears, PM me, I would be VERY interested! I saw some at the St. Louis Zoo this past weekend, and I'm on a hunt for some. I've seen blacks, but they were always pretty small. These got as large as the largest green elephant ears.
This pic is probably pretty small, but here are what they look like. I would love a start if anyone has these huge solid black ones. They are very glossy and gorgeous!

It's been raining heavily since about midnight. The only good thing about the rain is that it's cooled the weather down... to 79F/26C. It has been up to 85F/29C.

I haven't been able to sleep and have been surfing the net. And when I went downstairs to get a midnight snack I found that the fridge door was open... because my wife the fridge hoarder packed the fridge so full that it sprang open again. The door was open about 2 hours and the inside still wasn't cold after my snack. I hope that didn't damage the thermostat.

We got dumped on big time last night w/ the wet stuff. We really needed it tho w/the high temps we had been having. Ok now ready for the heat again!

That's funny you mentioned the open door on the fridge @JohnHuff cuz I went into the garage last night to put the cat away and the freezer door was standing wide open. My hubby had just went in to grab a Skinny Cow.................shame on him for leaving it open and also eating a Skinny Cow in front of me! By the way they don't make you skinny, take my word for it. Fortunately he had just went in there when I discovered it open. Ours is not crammed full of food so he must have just failed to shut it. He fails to do a lot of things tho. He leaves lights on, burners on, water running, etc. drives me nuts. So now you see I do have an excuse

@koiguy1969 that is really terrible looking and heard they had torrential downpours really fast. New York is having the same problems.

CE I am not sure if she is sure what is going on down there! Last time I saw her, she looked pretty big, and the tummy felt hard and large, considering her vegan diet..... I am kinda mad at her and do not wish to see her right now, cause I may say something I might regret. My other sister sent me a text and says that she thinks the baby is coming on Sept 13th, but who knows for sure! I too have a hard time believing she is having a baby, but my other sister who saw her last week says she is really big now. I just hope all goes well for her and wish her lots of luck, cause I have a feeling she may need it. She claims that childbirth for her was no big deal with her last two kids, like 20 years ago, and says that their is no pain involved with childbirth.... ?? Never had a kid myself, but I have heard it is pretty painful and that you can quickly forget the pain.

Still waiting for her to have that kid, then I her daughter tells me she wants to name him "Judas", if it is a boy, She hates the bible... I really have a hard time listening to her some days. These pictures were taken of her on the 8th of August this year. She first told me she was pregnant like the day before Christmas. That is all I know....

We were in baltimore yesterday, they had record breaking rain falls of 6.30 inches. Another place had 10.50 inches of rain.

Well December would put her giving birth in Sept alright. In that picture she looks healthy and not too thin. She is gonna do what she is gonna do and if you don't think you should visit her than perhaps that would be for the best. No need to start a war so close to giving birth. Just let her be and hope and pray for the best. I don't understand why people hate the bible. I mean to not believe is one thing but why does one have to be hateful? There are things I don't agree w/ but I don't have to enter hate into the equation.

No rain today but was sure windy and got some of the yard mowed and trimmed because I heard more rain is coming .5 dead frog bodies from my pond ,aggie is in a killing mode again .Well got to count my fish and only have 11 now after that darn beagle and he was coming up the dtiveway this morning but the good old king was on the front porch barking and scared him away .He got my 1 multi colored fancy tail and hate to say but he got popeye so have to find a new mate for olive oil .I could not get them to come up and could not find them and kept looking and just figured they were scared .Water finally started to clear up and then we got all this rain .

 

[j.w]

Sissy I don't know how mad this makes you but it makes me boil! Do these people who own this dog know this is happening now and that it is there dog? I would be taking matters into my own hands if this does not stop. I know it's not the dogs fault but not your fish's either. This is not a wild animal that needs to survive on fish. This is someone's property (dog's are property) that is causing you grief. The fish are your property and the pond is also and he is destroying property. Different then just coming through and taking a poop! And oh no now we find out it was your beloved Popeye and your fancy tailed fish too! I would be making the people pay for the loss of those fish just because this is ridiculous and they should pay the consequences.

Not too much has been going on here since my last visit. We have been going camping a lot lately. Miss Eden really enjoys it and so do the rest of the kids when we go out. We spent 6 days out camping the week of the 4th of July.

Miss Eden was having trouble finding a pocket for her play phone so she just did what she did.


We went for lots of walks out camping but someone got too tired to walk so daddy came to the rescue


This is Miss Eden pushing her Molly ( stuff monkey that she doesn't leave the room with out it)


Little miss sassy Eden wanted to play in the rain so we told her have fun.


After our trip from the 4th, we took a few weeks off from camping to get some stuff done around the house. I have been help ground crew for a hot air balloon team here in town. Its a lot of fun but its also hard work. The balloon is huge and it takes about a half hour to get it set up and in the air. Well, during the Nation Balloon Classic here in Indianola, our pilot decided to surprise me with a ride up in the balloon. All I can say is wow.

This is just after lift off.


That shadow is from our balloon


Right about 600ft up












It was such a blast in the balloon. You can see all the chase vehicles down there waiting to get in. We were up for about a hour. Wind wasn't very strong that night so we only went about 2 miles but its so peaceful up there.


The last 3 are just from us camping this past weekend. We took our lake house to the lake and had a great time. Even got a pic of the 3 of us.

This is a video that was taken by our newspaper. From about 21 sec to 45 sec that is our balloon. I'm on the right side of the screen holding the cables during the hot inflate. You can later see me in the basket.

How neat! What a great ride, we have one that comes over our house evening and morning. Sometimes moving fast other times just poking along

 

[j.w]

Too cool! I'd be afraid to go up...............I don't like heights but they sure are pretty watching them float by looking up.

I have to talk to April and Clint again now that I know they are gone .It is either there dog or the people renting Jody's house .I tried to follow him today but he went into the woods and he would not come to me .I took pics and left them on my camera so I could ask them
