Mery Cristmas And Ney Year Wonders: 29 Days Without Rain

They are saying that this is the hottest and driest summer on record in South Mississippi. I believe it! We have not had rain since June 4th and we have endured 13 days of over 100 degrees. The Bay St. Louis Seafood Festival is tomorrow on the coast and we had planned to go then changed our mind because of the heat, but since they have gotten late afternoon thunderstorms for the past two days, we are considering again going in hopes of seeing what rain looks and feels like! HA! When I sat down to do this post, one the Hummers showed up!

This green one is my favorite....

I try to change the nectar every two or three days because of the heat....

Sadie and the pups are doing great. We renamed them after Curly passed. The HUGE white/spotted one is now " Hoss Cartwright " and the brown one has been named by Aunt Wilma, John Wayne but will be called " Duke". Hoss and Duke are sweeties!

Jake who is a fur ball, was shedding like a crazy man so he went yesterday for his summer haircut.........

He looks like a poodle now. Cutest thing you've ever seen. We laughed till we couldn't when I brought him in. Sadie thought a strange dog had gotten in the room with her babies and she nearly attacked him. It took her forever to realize it was Jake-A-Boo !

I canned tomatoes again yesterday. I had planned to make Chow/Chow but just decided to do plain tomatoes. The next batch will be Chow/Chow. Today I'm dealing with all these cukes and canning more of Colorado Lady's Refrigerator Pickles. We have already eaten a quart of the ones I did the other day! I had this pan of tomatoes ready to can....
