Beautiful Saturday, but a storms a comin'!

Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back. . .no wait, those are the words to a song!  Well, anyway, it's true.  Today I cleaned house a little, watched a movie or two and went out to lunch with the girls.  I should have been at a pig picking in SC with my family, but as you can see, I'm home.  Robert's boss was sympathetic, but he said that there is a "chance" of a storm tonight.  Well, the chance is now more like a certainty, so I guess it all worked out for the best.  It better rain and pour tonight, I'll tell you that right now!!  Oh, and there was a huge semi load of watermelon harvesting equipment that showed up this morning that wouldn't have been received if Robert was gone and that would have been         bad. . .real bad.  So, I am still upset, but once again I have learned that life in the farming industry can be totally unpredictable. . .especially when there are plants in the ground.

This evening the weather is perfect. . .a pretty good breeze is blowing and the temp right now is 86*!   We ordered pizza tonight and went outside to play with the kittens (they are 6 weeks old now) and Pepper.  Betsy was riding the 4-wheeler while Katie was online talking to. . . . . . matt.  The saga continues. . . . a little.  They still talk, but she is officially back with Mike. (who is mad at her right now)  Who knows.  Robert and I were laying (yes, I said laying) out in the front yard in the grass looking up into the oak trees at the spanish moss blowing in the breeze, while Pepper, Dizzy Kitty and Bootsie laid near us.  I lasted about 15 minutes before a big black and red spider crawled on my arm.  I got up quick! 

Well, Katie is baking chocolate chip cookies and they are coming out of the oven and I can't wait another minute!  Wish I could share!
