Dog days in July 2016

I'm exhausted and HOT! It's been really hot here in good old SD, so I have been trying to keep all the trees and bushes watered. I look forward to fall but I hate the winter. We moved to a new house in Nov. of 2015 about 2 miles from the old place on Lost creek. The old owner and now the new owners/inheritors/trust people just would or will not sell it....(After almost 40 years we finally gave up on our dream of owning it and building our dream house on it...I cried a lot...I raised my children there...grew my marriage and family there... my roots are there.... But I had to rip them up due to not being allowed to buy the property....We now live on the old school property complete with both the old school and new school buildings. We purchased it in Oct of 2011 and moved in Nov of 2015. We are very happy here EXCEPT... WE ARE TO CLOSE TO THE ROAD AND TO NEIGHBORS,. but love that there are no mice or snakes...We missed the early morning and evening sounds of the turkeys and seeing the deer lazily walk across the drive at the front door but our new back yard view is to die for. Gorgeous sunsets with amazing lightning shows, deer, turkey, Canadian geese, fox, rabbits, all kinds of birds and just amazing sky and miles of openness.


Good Bye old home.. I love you and will miss you all the days of my life.
God Bless all of you and Live life to the fullest its the only life you'll have. BB
