Keeping cool was the name of the game this week. Wild weather included 80% humidity, 90°+F temperatures, torrential rains and two, confirmed tornadoes in the area. Thankfully, we are no worse for the wear and the grass and flowers

I think that that scale is soooo cute. But I can always use anything to give my girls. I just got 6 Buffs about 7 weeks old they are precious.
