TYPICAL DOG DAYS OF SUMMER WEATHER

Up to get another busy day started. After going to bed with it still lightly raining last night we woke to a very foggy morning today.
We got chores done and then headed out to the Curb Market to get paperwork and a deposit made.
We met one customer there for a cake pick-up and dropped another order off at a lawyers office.
We left there and went by our Dollar General to see if it was overcrowded with customers or not. We thought since all other stores are requiring mask that more customers might turn to Dollar General. Thankfully there was no customers there so we went in to pick up some supplies for market.
We came home at lunch and after we ate hubbie went out to mow the lawn. He got almost finished when a spring broke on the mower deck and he had to stop.
I got the frozen berries bagged today then went outside to clean out the hen house and spray it down with insecticide before moving the new chicks into it.
I had to hurry and finish up before the rain started again. At least the thunder and lightening stayed in the distance today and there was very little wind and we got another 1/2 inch of rain.
Speaking of weather we have the 7th named storm and the earliest 7th storm in Atlantic storm history named today,
As "dog days" began in the middle of July we are hot and muggy with rain each day. This pattern surely reminds me of when I was growing up in these mountains.
These next days follow a typical "dog days" pattern for sure.
Hubbie and I got chores done and then we harvested the rooster that was one of the first hatches of this year. He was 16 weeks old which is about 4 weeks older than a typical meat chicken and he only dressed out at about 3 pounds but I bet he will make some tasty chicken and rice for Sunday lunch.
We rested for the evening.
Thankful for the blessings of this day and for the love of a gracious Savior.
God Bless and Good Night

The Dog Days of Summer are here also. Just plain hot and muggy. All those berries you picked look so delicious. Can't think of anything better to put on my oatmeal. I bet that rooster does make a tasty meal.
