It has been a lovely weekend so far. My front yard was completely cut back and cleaned up by a professional gardener and it looks so amazing! The poor thing had gotten so neglected this summer. It got really overgrown and out of control! Now everything is shaped, cut down and ready for fall. I think the plants are happy about it too!
Labor Day is here and it is a perfect time for some relaxing and enjoyment with family and friends. I woke up to an over cast morning which is always so nice! We are praying for some rain here so the firefighters can get a better handle on the Yosemite Rim Fire. As of this morning, the fire has burned 228,670 acres and it is 60% contained. Thankfully they are getting a handle on it. This is the most contained it has been since it started. This fire has been raging for almost 2 weeks now. It is very sad and quite devastating for this area. I live about 60 miles west the central portion of Yosemite. The fires were more north east of me so we did not get all of the smoke and debris as some did.
Well, I guess I had better get the winner announced for you. We just had one contest end last night but ti was a popular one for the Classic Hostess Beverage Dispenser. We do verify the winners to make sure all entries were done properly and without cheating, so lets see who is our winner…
Winner is:
Deb Smith
Thanks to all that entered with us! Have a fabulous day!
Chris
Congratulations to the winner.
Happy Labor Day everyone.
I am glad that you are happy with your yard, Chris. I am also very glad that you don’t live any closer to that devastating fire which is finally better contained.
