A Texas Summer Blessing

Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry.

Please keep it cool in mid-July.

Bless the walls where termites dine,

While ants and roaches march in time.

Bless our yard where spiders pass

Fire ant castles in the grass.

Bless the garage, a home to please

Beetles, scorpions, ticks and fleas.

Bless the love bugs, two by two,

The gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.

Millions of creatures that fly or crawl,

In Texas , Lord, you've put them all!!

But this is home, and here we'll stay,

So thank you Lord, for insect spray.

You Know Your in Texas in July

When:
The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.

The trees are whistling for the dogs...

The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

Hot water now comes out of both taps.

You can make sun tea instantly.

You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron..

The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.

You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car..

You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.

You actually burn your hand opening the car door.

You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.

Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, 'What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?'

You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.

Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.

The cows are giving evaporated milk.

Ah, what a place to call home. .

God Bless The State of TEXAS !!!

 

 

 

Never Forget

The Great State

Have you ever been to the “Lone Star State”. It is really something to see. We have just about anything you would want to see, visit or indulge in. Texas, is a great wonderful state, with so many things to offer.

I’ve lived in other states, but always came back home. It just doesn’t feel like home, anywhere else. I’m biased, that’s true, but until you come and feast on the pleasure’s of Texas, you haven’t lived.

I’m a TEXAN, “a native pecan”, and darn proud of it!

Rain

We have been praying for rain and this morning many areas in north Texas found themselves with the nice refreshing rain.  I was one of those people, and am truly thanking the Lord for this precious stuff.  It has been raining for about an hour and still is pouring outside.  This will be great for the grass, trees and plants.  I hope that it keeps the temps down as well, and we don't have a humid day later to contend with.

HOT ....HOT.........HOT

It 's just plain hot here in the Lone Star State and it doesn't look as though there's any relief in sight.  They predict that this will be a record week for high temperatures and this is not good.  There have been several heat related deaths in the last few weeks and with the heat being even higher this week, the city medical teams are worried there will be more.

As always make sure to check on young children, older people, and pets.  Never ever leave them in hot vehicles unattended.
