Garden 066 

in the far right, one wittle Jalapeno plant popped up and then tomatoes, then the speading plant is cantaloupes, then watermelons.

Garden 072 

the big bushy plants are Zuchanni's. I dont' know if we will this time around get much food from these as for some reason the bugs seem to be the only one now really enjoying them. GET Out Bugs!!! LOL

Garden 073 

One wittle, wittle cantaloupe. Might be the smallest food garden we have had as of yet. Since we have lived on this land for 10 years, we had waited to have gardens for 5 years now. The last time we planted, we got, 150 Zuchanni's, 10 watermelons, carrots, onions, jalapenos, Cilentro, Tomatoes, Radishes but, we did have some problem with ground squirrels.

We have Air!!!!

What a big deal finally as today was the Hottest day ever! I think they said 114 but, I think it just got to 111 but, that was enough. Our air was lost with the lightening strike on Nov. 28th, 2008. We submitted a case with our insurance company and they FINALLY paid in the latter part of June and I just cried when I received it. As it was so touch and go with paying us, as our first air company were jerks and decided to give us our estimate  $back, the 2nd was the best, Norris Air.  Then they just had to make the check out to us and our mortgage company, so guess what, the Mortgage  company had to sign it and there it went to SD. Boo Hoo Then I asked if they could please over night it to us and we paid $23.98 for them to do so after 2 more weeks. . What a mess!

then we get the check and Bank Of America wants to hold the check for 7 days. We went to Chase bank and they cashed it, no problems asked. So, it was set to be put in today! A $6,000 unit installed for $2,000. Gosh, we are so darn happy, Blessed and now Cold. Thank you to the Good Lord above for keeping us safe when we had to go into the travel trailer to sleep and for protecting us against heat stroke when we were  in this house, at 108 degrees at times and for us not getting sick, and for our 6 dogs, to go into the travel trailer in the daytime to keep cool in their tender bodies, for that air to work and not quit!

Jesus and I are so happy!

Garden 059 

Oh happy day today and for the rest of the summer in cool air! We can't seem to get out to of the house now but, Jesus and I ordered Pizza carry out,  again to Celebrate as Juan went to pay for a BBQ at Jose's house for all their help and others were coming also. We wanted to stay home.  LOL I didn"t even walk 1 mile today! Oh well I will make up for it tomorrow Sunday after church. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed! Good Night!
