It has been a very unusual summer on the farm.  This is one of the first days this summer that we have been blessed with enough leisure time that I felt like doing some work on the Farmhousefibers blog.

Prior to this weekend, we had been battered by storms and heavy rains nearly ever week since April.  We have been experienced flooding, fallen trees (8 total)  and several power outages.  Today we have been blessed with sunshine and comfortable temperatures. What a relief to be able to sit on the porch with the laptop and just enjoy the nice weather, humming birds, and other wildlife.

I spent part of the morning cleaning up the latest fallen tree which happened to fall right on top of Laura’s Chinese dragon garden ornament.  Needless to say, the three foot tall dragon ended up as a pile of limestone chips!  Laura has been searching the web and has already located a replacement and mentioned a potential road trip next weekend.  That will give me a chance to try out the new Nuvi GPS  I received as an early birthday gift.
