Dog Days of Summer

The Dog Days of Summer 2012 have begun. Actually they started on Tuesday, same day as the Full Moon.

The DDOS will last until August 11th. With many of us having weird weather let us all hope the DDOS will not be too bad. Found this piece of clipart, thought it might cool us off. Have a wonderful evening.

Full Moon

Tonite, July 3rd 2012 is the Full Buck Moon. Named this because it arrived when male deer started growing new antlers. This Full moon is also called Full Thunder Moon and Full Hay Moon. Step out tonite or if the weather permits take a walk and enjoy the Full Buck Moon.

Happy July!

Can you believe it that it is July already? I guess that is what happens when you are busy and having fun, lol. Here in Williams Township it has been and is hotter then HELL!! When your house is old and you only have window air conditioners and just in two rooms I believe everyone will forgive me for saying H**L!!!!!! Like everyone else we are doing what we can to stay cool and if the heat is all we have to complain about, then we are very, very lucky. Les and I have a very good and long time friend who lives 12 miles from the CO fires, she and her husband are doing fine and ask for eveyone's prayers in keeping their firefighters safe and some RAIN!! Time to do that rain dance for our CO friends.

Happy Canada Day to all of our blogger friends!

This week is a busy week on the calender, Full Moon, Dog Days Begin and the 4th of July.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Happy Summer

It has been said that on the eve of the Summer Soltice you can see fairies in the garden tonite. Here is hoping that all my friends will see fairies tonight.

Our Girls

I cannot remember if I have ever shared pictures of our Girls, Dolly and Maggie (sisters). They are really feeling this unseasonably warm weather that we are having and so is Ginny. No a/c's in the windows yet, so I am typing this sitting in front of the fan, lol. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend. Maggie is the 1st one, Dolly the 2nd.

Happy Memorial Day

Just popping in to say Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Hope that it is a safe and happy one for you all. Les & I are working (lately we have been doing that alot), but not all weekend, so we will get in a little R & R!! talk to you soon!!

With A Heavy Heart

Boy, if it were not for bad news, we here at Ginnysyard would not have any news. Yesterday My older brother Bobby passed away. He was not without health issues, but this came out of the blue! I don't have alot of memories of my brother, you see he was 15 years old when I was born. I was told that he said, "Just what I need another sister". And by the time I was a young girl, he was already out of the house. My one fond memory of him and one that I will keep with me forever, is that when I needed him the most he was there. It was two weeks (or less) before Les & I were to be married and my Father was taken very ill and placed in the hospital, with no chance of giving the "baby" away. So, Bobby stepped up and said I will give you away. He also insisted that after the church that Les & I visit my Dad at the hospital. He must have known something because later that evening my Dad passed away. Like I said he must have known. R.I.P. Big Brother.
