Blue Sky

Blue sky shining on me,

Nothing but blue sky do I see.

Wo it is so nice to see blue skies. The smoke seems to be clearing, for the most part. I hate to jinx
it by saying it is gone.
The state brought in a HUGE plane to dump water on the blazes. In one dump it can cover 3-4 acres with water. It needed , I believe six miles of water to pick it up in. That we have at Shasta Dam.
I believe it is working.
Thank God. Finally some relief for people that have been in danger. And a big
THANK YOU TO OUR FIREMEN.!!!!!
HIP HIP HURRAH, HIP HIP HURRAH.
Great job. We have seen several Con-voys being brought in to man the fire lines.
Really Cons from southern California, minimum security prisons. I hope none fall in love with the north state. That would ruin our reputation of a quiet, minimum violence area.

Today has again been very productive. Actually after David came home yesterday, we had dinner then went straight to work in the yards and on the pool. He vacuumed it while I tried to save a rose bush and set up lighting.
I now have my twinkling lights all around the pool fence, It look amazing at night. Not a lot of light just enough to light the path when the kids are out there.
I Had a few out, as they have been hanging there for a year and a half.
This morning I took more out of my stash and put them out to fill the bare spaces.
As I said it look amazing.
The rose bush, Sad! It is my Just Joey Rose. I have a grandson named Joey and I loved to look at the sweet face of the rose.
As I was working in the garden a few days ago, I noticed it looked kind of dry, I checked and there was plenty of water getting to it. As I went out yesterday I moved the bush a little and noticed it had no solid structure. I then pulled on it and up it came. All I had was the tap root, not one feeder root.
Some Mole or Gopher has ate it. Last evening I replanted it and trimmed it back to winter cutting. I hope I can save it. I get so sad when I lose a rose bush. I get angry at the moles and want to scream. How dare they eat my Joey, Why not the ones I have multiples of,like the Princess Margarita. I have about four of those.
Oh well I prayed it would live. Maybe I can save it, I am sure going to try.
Today I fed the garden also, I must get a photo to post, My corn is growing so fast, You could almost watch it grow, Really it is abut 4 feet tall now and my beans are blooming. My squash are producing like crazy and my melon patch is really taking off. I have over 15 melon vines, All kinds, Hale Cantaloupe, Ambrosia cantaloupe, sugar baby melons, Crenhaw, Honey dews,. and multiplies of each one. I also have a huge pumpkin vine it produces pumpkins up to 100 lbs. We shall see, I do have one pumpkin on it so far.
Maybe this year I will have great melons.
It wont be for lack of trying, I fed them too, so they are not neglected.
Now it is rest time, No one can say I do not rest when I need to , I am exhausted right now and tried to do payroll but something is wrong with the program , it is not holding out state or federal taxes. David has to check it out when he gets home.
So I close this rambling post with,
Thank you for being you.
Love Mom, friend and someday an Angel.
