Unusual Weather?

 Unusual Weather?

 

Nothing really surprises most Texans about our weather. My grandmother once told her friend that it would be about as likely as a blizzard in July if anyone in the family even noticed her birthday. She and Faye Lyons were out in the plum patch at the time and a large front blew in right about then. Sure enough! They had a bit of snow blowing in that storm! It was Grandmother’s birthday—the first day of July when she turned 50 years old! (1956) Well, today in Philadelphia, they had enough hail in a storm that they called it snow. So, there you go!

 

Blake, the lawn guy, came by himself today, so it took him over three hours to cut all the grass and weed eat everything. Feel sorry for him when he does not have a helper. That is a LOT of grass and mowing for one man to do—especially in this heat. But it certainly looks much nicer. Albert Leos has his yard looking spic and span, too. He mowed it like a golf course yesterday. Neat!

 

Supposedly we have a front coming in on Thursday so that things might cool down just a bit. We are expecting the high to be around 95 degrees. Beats 106 for sure! Just won’t mind seeing autumn get here. Could really enjoy some fall rains.

 

Trying not to look at any news. Everything is a bit unsettling. Some of us would like to see a sense of unity and calm, while others seem to find delight in picking things apart. May God forgive us our animosity and help us to have a loving attitude toward others—no matter what. Let us pray for peace.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
