Chiming in with some Changes

We had an unexpected storm yesterday afternoon, quite large, that prevented us from going out and planting more corn.  Today will be a scorcher, and our area schools have decided to give us early dismissal.  The weather forecast says we'll be feeling 100 degrees until around 7:00 pm tonight.  Since we have school tomorrow, planting after 7:00 pm will not be an option.  We wonder how the colonist were able to plant their crops when they first came to America.  They didn't get to wear shorts and T-shirts like we do today; they wore clothing mostly made of wool! 

We did make two changes to our blog.  One is the font size.  Pop was squinting when he read our entries, so we thought our readers might be doing the same.  So we made the font size bigger.  Second, our Mom spoke with some of our regular readers yesterday.  They said they'd like to leave us comments of encouragement here.  So she thought about it and said we could turn the comments option on.  She said if there's any comments that are inappropriate she will turn them back off.  We would like to hear from you, so please leave your comments with a "G" rating.

Mom said after school today we might go shopping for more deer deterrents to use around our corn field ... wind chimes!  The thought of breezes moving them is very cooling!

I love the sound of wind chimes on a lazy breezy day.

Did you find out if the farmers sold the property or not?  If not, did they invite you down to ask questions?

Hi Sheila,
We haven't heard back from the farmer yet.  Maybe they're busy planting their corn right now just like us.  We haven't found out if they sold the farm either, we're still looking into it.
