Well, I thank God for giving you some rain, which is better than no rain!

Currently the weather here is normal for my location, and I thank God that we have had no damaging storms. In past years we had hail, which destroys garden plants, but this year has been peaceful at my location.

I thank God for that, too, because his Word says that he sends hail as a correction, and men still do not humble themselves and ask why.

(Haggai 2:17)

Water in the brook is dramatically cooler than the ground. The stream of water is a free and natural source of relief from the heat.

It's time for seeing okra blossoms in the garden. Now that the plants are mature, it is typical to see these beauties every day.

#Dream from two nights ago....

It was dark outside and smoke was in the air. (I live in Arkansas, USA.) I looked outside to find the source and saw ground fires in the woods, but did not see trees burning.

I looked up to the clouds and prayed to God, and it began to rain. Rain puts out fires.

This dream seemed more spiritual than physical, so I was surprised today seeing news of actual smoke and fires in the physical realm also.

The cat shelter is open for business! It still needs some work, but the bare minimum is there.

This is the first night the feral momma cat and her female kitten are staying overnight in the shelter.

There are currently 15 cats living with us.... Many are inside the house. We are just about at full capacity! Neither of the two cats shown in this video have yet allowed me to pet them. I hope they will become tame enough for me to take them to the vet to get spayed.

A couple stray animals in my backyard.

The rooster came from across the street last year. He does not want to go back and now lives here full-time.

Green tomatoes are growing in the garden.

The cat shelter is almost done. I had some set-backs in the construction, like a 24-hour power outage. But the feral momma cat (solid black) and some of her kittens (from two different litters) are getting used to eating in it. I hope to make the door today. (It will be my first time making a door.)

I currently have 15 cats! Many of them are inside the house.

The squash vines loved the rain we had yesterday in Arkansas.

Loud crashes of thunder can be heard here in #Arkansas. The power got knocked out. But I can still read on the notebook with battery power.

That time the Arkansas state government was heckled by an angry crowd....

The next time the ruling class insists we all get new vaccines, the citizens will revolt, adding more fuel to the next American Civil War.

"The Marshall Islands had never fielded a national soccer team. With this 11-a-side tournament, these young men would be the first to carry their nation onto an international stage."
