The alarm sounded very far away when it went off this morning and it took me a long time to realize it was Saturday morning and market day.
We got chores done and got ready for market.
We got there on time and market was already bustling with business. We had a very good selling day today and market stayed full of customers the entire day.
Daughter was busy at the manager's office so hubbie took care of IR most of the day.
We left late as customers were still shopping after closing time today.
I made stops at Ingles and Aldi to pick up groceries and baking supplies. It was really hot today and after being in the heat inside market by the time I got home I was pretty wiped out.
Hubbie was mowing the lawn and stopped to help me unload when I got here.
He continued with his mowing and I came in the cool house and had a cup of the vegetable soup I brought home from market.
RL wanted to come back up here and play with the chickens again today so d-in-love brought her up.
She loves these chickens and they seem to have a fondness for her also as this little one just follows her around like a puppy.
Her dad has been busy today building her a chicken coop so she can have 6 of the Silkie chicks in the big brooder box and maybe this littlest lover chick she has fallen in love with. She looks like she was helping get the job done !!!
After they left I did chores then watched the sunset as I reflected back over this month.
This month has surely been crammed full of events starting with our resurrected Old Timey Day at the Curb market on the first Saturday of the month.
G-son graduated from elementary school and is headed for middle school next school year.
We celebrated 4 family birthdays this month including grand daughter IR who turned 1 year old on the 20th.
Hubbie celebrated his 63rd birthday as well as a good Father's Day. Tif and Aa also got a year older.
We went to the Pickens flea market this month in the heat and had some fun trips with the kids including Carl Sandburg's goat farm, the parks and the pool.
Daughter is managing market this summer until we find a full time manager so that makes more IR time for hubbie and I. We keep her here on Tuesdays while daughter works at market and then hubbie stays all days at market on Thursdays and Saturdays and helps with her there.
We keep g-son and g-daughter RL regularly every Monday and some other special times to help d-in-love out.
Hubbie and I both had eye exams and got new glasses this month and Tif got a new car after selling the boat she bought last June.
We have had some devastating flooding from heavy rains at times in the month and it has been the 2nd hottest June on record with only about 3 days average or below for the high temps.
Market has been very busy thankfully to begin this summer and daughter has been picking blackberries for a couple weeks between the rain and storms.
G-son went to a 4 day church camp at Ridgecrest and had a wonderful time with his church friends just getting home this morning.
We had a major power outage this past Thursday that last over 12 hours when a high voltage pole caught on fire and fell. Thankfully the day was cloudy and it stayed pretty cool and our food in the freezers and frig were okay.
Thankful for the love and protection of the family during this busy month and thankful for all the blessings that flowed freely throughout the month.
God Bless and Good Night
