After a tremendously hot week, and little rain to speak of all summer, this morning we awoke to a dark sky and a slow steady rain. Though we only got a 1/2 inch, it allows for us to give our drip system and well a little reprieve from the constant garden watering. As I walk outside this afternoon, the sun once again heats us up and the ground gives an audible sigh.
We have delivered our third farm bag in as many weeks and are beginning to need to harvest twice daily in the garden. The steady rain of this morning allowed for some guiltless quite reading time while the kids slept and the garden drank. I head into the weekend preparing for a busy week that begins Sunday with my 4H'ers first time showing in the county fair. Every day has a segment that requires our presence at the fair grounds, it should be quite an experience and Sidney has been counting down the days.
This weekend begins both with excited anticipation and a heavy heart. The school mate that I mentioned earlier this week, passed away this afternoon. My thoughts are with her family trying to deal with such an unexpected loss. I am once again reminded at how precious life is.
