June and July brought hot temperatures and humidity with little to no rain. I woke to rain this morning, what a blessing that was. I pray all others that need rain badly will soon get some. On one of the hottest days a katydid stayed on the door under an awning all day long. It didn’t move at all even when I opened and closed the door several times. I was happy to have provided a shady place for him or her.

If you read my last blog post, you know that on the 13th of July, I had to have a much-loved oak tree that was diseased removed from my yard.

July 17th my next to the youngest daughter left this life for the next. She was the third of my children that have gone before me.

I am sorry I have not visited your blogs for a while. I did stop by some blogs this morning and I hope to get caught up soon. I may not comment for a while yet but will read your posts.

August has started off well and I am looking forward to fall. I am thankful for the blessings from family, friends, and the people I do not know or never will during the days and weeks that were not easy to get through.
