It’s Raining Mondays

Yes it is Monday and yes it is raining. Ugh! I know we need the rain to wash away all the bad ragweed and goldenrod pollen and any old field dust that gets in the air from all the hay that is being cut because it is haying season again. But the rain and the… Continue reading It’s Raining Mondays

Crisp Monday

The fog rolled in off the Tennessee River this morning drifting up toward the skyline as the sun peeked through the clouds. It was a beautiful East Tennessee morning even if the temp was a crisp 61 degrees. A little cooler than we've had in a while. But not cool enough to really need a… Continue reading Crisp Monday

Sunday Sundaes

We had another baptizing today at church. Actually we had one during the morning and one during the evening services. It makes for a nice service when we have those. Of course, baptizings take me back to when I was little and we would gather on the creek bank in a pasturefield. The cattle were… Continue reading Sunday Sundaes

Foggy Monday

Woke to a foggy morning. They say the number of foggy mornings in August is the number of snow falls you'll have come winter. Not sure if this will hold true. We've been having little to no snow falls the last few years. And last winter was so mild if we blinked it was gone.… Continue reading Foggy Monday

Random Thought Friday

It's the Friday before school starts for my son. He's feeling sick at his stomach. I'm sure he's dreading the beginning of a new school year. It makes me ill too, thinking about what lies ahead. The prodding to do the work, the fussing about who's right and wrong. UGH!! Gloomy skies most of the… Continue reading Random Thought Friday

Rainy Week Ahead

We are supposed to get rain all week. It has been raining this morning and then at lunch time we began getting more than a drizzle. The rain mixed with August temps is creating fog along the tree line making even the valley resemble the Smoky Mountains.

Cooling down for an early Fall?

I know it is just the end of July, but it felt pretty cool out yesterday afternoon/early evening. It made me think of September instead of August. Maybe it was a fluke, but some of the trees are looking kinda brown and that is probably more due to the dry weather we've had than leaves… Continue reading Cooling down for an early Fall?

Cooler Temps for a Few Days

The rain has finally brought cooler temps for a few days at least. Not sure how long it will last, but they are welcome for this mid-July.

Rainy Monday would be okay with me

It rained last night. The wind was blowing, a few flashes of lightning before I went to bed, but it did rain. My car was wet all over when I went out to leave for work. YEAH!! We need the rain badly right now. It looks like it could rain this morning too. Maybe it… Continue reading Rainy Monday would be okay with me

Gorgeous June Day

June has been simply gorgeous so far. We've had some rain, but for the most part it has been sunny and warm. A little on the cool side Saturday. As I mentioned in a previous Sunday blog, the Tiger Lilies bloomed early so you should be seeing more and more of them along the road… Continue reading Gorgeous June Day
