Happy 4th of July!

Whew!  It is hot enough here in northeast Indiana to barbecue on the cement!  If most people are like our family, they'll be celebrating in the comfort of their AIR CONDITIONING!  That is if they have electricity yet, after the storms last Friday!  CAN NOT IMAGINE!  We may venture out to grill a few burgers but that's about it - feels like 105 with the heat index!

Then there's the drought!  These are the only kind of fireworks most will see around here:

The grass is sooo dead looking you could start a wildfire just looking at it with fiery eyes!  All that's going on in the weather world, makes you wonder about a lot of things???? hmmm

Anyhoo!  In the comfort of my air, I've been entering some stupendous bloggy giveaways!  Take a peek!
