Several sightings in the area tonight of tornadoes....hubby called me on his way home and said if ya dare venture out we got a dark cloud over the home front that looks to be approx 10 miles radius....He was a bout 4 miles south of home when he called so I went out and these are a few of what I captured/




We took a little drive very minimal damage just wind.....but looks like another front moving in later tonight so think i will get some sleep early a s I have a feeling gonna be a bad night./

Hot and Humid or Both

What a weather pattern the last few days, Hot muggy, your clothing is wet before you even do anything. The air is so thick you can hardly breathe. I still maintain those with any upper respiratory problems best stay inside until this passes....and those of us that do not have those issues we most likely will before it is don! Sounds like the rest of the week it will be in the high 90's and remain humid.

Hubby and I have been trying to tape in the new addition and do some mudding but it simply is not drying so I guess we will wait until this weather pattern breaks.

Oldest daughter and her boyfriend came home yesterday and brought some garden goodies for me to do some canning for them .But was still fun and we had a great visit! I am just thrilled she has taken an interest in raising her own garden!!


Ohhhh I both a new read and looks like it is going to be good, I ordered it off of Amazon, Name of the book is Spiritual Healing by Robert E Detzler, I am anxious to get get this and see what it is all about. Will have to update you later on that and if any of you out there have read it please let me know what ya thought of it!

Today was a day off....I did a few loads of laundry and some major cleaning! Long over due and just enjoyed visiting the kids! made us a pork roast with all the trimmings and sent the kids back home on their way back to hustle and bustle of college life but always great to see them!

Well that is about all happening here. Try to stay cool this week and please stay hydrated, Until next time~

Well another week and a bit more work happening on the farm...we got some landscaping done
I told my husband I think we picked the hottest day of the year to shovel rock!
But in the end I love the look...had to leave some space so we could get the sidewalk in Should not be too much longer.
Wheat harvest is well under way....yields are good...I just love the color of wheat...If you look close at the buddy seat you will see my little buddy taking a ride in the combine!! We call him the farm manager!!
Ready for market!!

Hope you all have a great week!! I have some major gardening to do this week seems like everything spouted and grew ten fold on me!! Until next time~

How does your garden grow

One of my first harvests this July in the garden.....a very small zuc, I just could not wait!! Some fresh peas and broccoli. This is my first year raising broccoli and its amazing!
One picking of lettuce.
My hubby and I went for a walk in town one evening and I just loved these colors had to snap a photo! Wish my garden looked this good!
Youngest daughter and I have been playing with the camera trying to figure out some good senior poses. This is one of my favorites. So hard to believe she is soon 18 and will graduate next year!
My cleamtis
Imaptients
Summer basketball and yes the ball went in!!! Good games
One of the lilies close up
Isn't this beautiful! I was soo excited when I saw it
We had a horrid wind and the ceramic bird bath fell and of course hit the stepping stone I had it on and shattered a few pieces into the bath part...any ideas on how to fix this? I was sooo bummed.
Well the door is on I love it
shingles and siding are now complete outside
Looking from the other side. I LOVE this window
I began the staining inside this is near the bay window
The interior door that leads to the Reiki room...I love the color! Going to be great when it is done!

So this shows you a little bit of what the summer has been like along with working and trying to stay ahead on the house work it has not been an easy task at all! But I suppose that is why life is busy and life is good! I am not complaining...actually I feel very blessed!

Well until another week.....have a great one!

A GLIMPSE OF VACATION

We left at 6 a.m. from home and met up with some friends in Milbank SD who were going to travel along with us, This is the first time our daughters had been through Mobridge SD, so took a photo of the bridge and the Missouri river for their books.
Our first stop was in Lemmon SD,we stopped at the petrified forest
Another spot in the petrified forest. back when I was a kid it did not look anything like this. but certainly gorgeous now!
After we left Lemmon, we went up what they call the enchanted Hwy, a local artist in the area did some metal sculptures. I only posted a few to give you an idea....I thought they were so cool
Grasshopper metal sculpture
As soon as we hit the interstate this was the final one and my favorite one!
Part of the ND badlands near Medora
We drove the Medora Badlands south loop hoping to see some wild horses. but this was the extent of the wild life we saw LOL>
Back in Medora, we stayed here the first night and took in what was called the pitch fork Fondu. Steaks, baked spuds and baked beans were the supper, It rained some so they served hot beverages and bars for desert. Well worth going to if you pass this area in Medora ND
This is one of the scenes from the musical
Another scene at the musical
Towards the end of the show, again if you have not ever taken in the musical in Medora. it is worth the trip and time. This is my 4th time there in 20 yrs and I love it every time I go.
Photo of the Yellostone River. Picnic grounds where we stopped to take a stretch,
Not very often you see us as a family of 4. but here we are in Redlodge MT
Bear tooth pass
Still a lot of snow up there,
I always told my husband he could never deny that youngest daughter...a random shot while we are waiting for our food in Cooke City
Lower falls in the background in yellowstone...we did take the hike, was a good walk but the air in the mtns really made me burn in the lungs
We saw many buffalo on the trip
One of the bears we saw in early hours.
This little black one was coming right at us. Great shot and made my day!!
Fathers Day so of course I had to do this!
Earth Quake Lake,
Paint Pots
Old Faithful put on a great show!
heading towards the Grand Tetons.
I love the Tetons, my favorite area. We took a picnic near the mtns and got some good shots.
Tetons again
Leaving the park we were in the Big Horn Mtns heading for Gillette and was a storm brewing
I love the colors!
hubby said naaa just s alight rain Im like Oh no it s not!! We got hit in Gillette with hail and 60 mph winds, was not a comfortable night at all,
The girls were small when we last had them to the black hills in SD so we went home that way.....this is Mount Rushmore near Custer SD....I used to live in Custer before Moving to MN
My girls at Mt Rushmore.
