ENTRY # SEVENTEEN HUNDRED & FIFTY ONE.

Good Morning.
.
.
I am hoping that all is well with you this morning, this is Wednesday and that means that another weekend is drawing near. We can always use weekends.Tuesday was another nice day at 6:30 yesterday afternoon the temperature was 88 and not a cloud in sight. This Wednesday morning we have a 66 and another high expected to be near 90. A few showers are mentioned.

I was in the tomato garden at 7 a.m. yesterday morning giving the plants a little water it has not rained in several days and I thought that a little drink might make them feel better. I have changed my watering schedule for this season. I do all of my watering in the early morning so that the sun will dry any water that might be on the vines, I feel that help keep some of the blight away that some of us have to put up with. So far this year I can see a big difference.

I want to mention the eaglets right here. This Eagle Web Cam will let you see them, but don't wait too long. The link below will tell you a little of what for us to expect. I for one do want to say Thanks to every one that had any thing to do with letting us see the eagles. DAD.

I received this below from Helen, it will almost make you cry. DAD

"I rescued a human today. Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them. As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in some one's life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one." .

I received this in an email and thought it was good..Thanks Helen. Here is a Kleenex. Dad.

We have been searching for a good spot light for our flag light. I think that we have finally found what we want. We got one of them installed yesterday. There is one more to install and we will do that soon. Look at it tonight after dark and see if looks any better. That is on Cam # 1. I love to look at my screen about midnight and be able to see the flag waving in the wind. DAD.
.
Here is my thought for this day. Taken from Philippians chapter 4 and verse 13. This chapter is our bible study for tonight.
.
" I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Spoken by Paul, what a wonderful thing to be able to say.

Dad's Views and Tomato News

You might enjoy looking at some of these stories again. The link above. Some were very interesting to me.

.

Be sure that you look at Dad's Tomato Garden Album. Dad's Tomato Garden 2009 . It shows the progress of the tomatoes almost daily. Thanks for following them right on up to the sandwich. Wish you were here to help me try them out. Dad.

Old Tennessee Granddaddy went fishing yesterday. We better check on him. I am sure he will have some pictures either today or tomorrow. He never fails to bring home fish. DAD.
.
Note: I just now checked on Jim, he has pictures today and a lot more. Be sure and look at his blog. Dad.
.
I am going to stop for a little while. Please use my side panel for things that I did not mention here. I will be back in the morning if my life is spared. Don't worry about this day, just get out there and face it with one of our smiles, and when the day ends you will be saying, " Well that was not so bad after all. "
