We havent had any rain either and the crops are in dire need. Hopefully it will rain today..a 40% chance but its a chance.. Hate to see my gas bill at the end of this summer! 4th hottest July in history for this area. Got 2 blocks done for Annt59 and I made an extra for IBEX, just because it was "patriotic" and thats my all time favorite kind of quilt. Had some of her stripe left..the gold block has the constitution written on it..Tell him THANK YOU for his service and Welcome Home!!
