That's the temp when I got up this morning! Normally it has been about 70-80 at that time of morning! We had to find the blanket at the foot of our bed last night. It was wonderful! Maybe fall is starting in the air? The weather says only 95 for a high today.
In other news I finally made granola yesterday morning. I figured out why it doesn't get made. I dread dragging out the oats, the sunflower seeds, the pumpkin seeds, the wheat germ..... Then after I make it putting it all up. So since I had all the stuff out I filled ziplocks. Seven of them! Next time I want a batch all I have to do is the "wet" ingredients then mix and cook. I made a triple batch yesterday, that is about 2-3 gallon jars full, but my jars are all filled with milk or at other peoples houses with milk so the finished product had to go in ziplocks too.
Today we are having a church play day. We are going to fellowship, kids swim, paint ball, play, visit, and eat. I am taking Frito salad, coleslaw, hamburger buns and 2 cobblers. I got strawberries and blackberries yesterday at produce so will make at least one like that. Kids want to do a fruit salad. Not sure if that will come to pass or not. I did get my wheat ground for cobbler crust yesterday. I have learned that flour needs to be cool, not warm from being ground. I will start the buns then do the cobblers after I finish buns.
Time to get my day started!

Storms and kids....
Last night when I came home from my mom's night my living room was empty. This morning when I got up it was filled to overflowing. I wanted to get pictures, but was afraid of waking some of them up. How many you wonder? Three adults, 2 older children, and my grandbaby. Why? Storms! The weren't bad, but we did get a LOT of wonderful rain. Over 2 inches!
Once everyone was awake I cooked breakfast 3 lbs sausage and a huge stack of blue berry pancakes. We even had pancakes left over!
I did laugh to myself. A friend on the adoption board was fussing because her case worker ask her where she would set more kids if she adopted and even ask the kids what they would think of sharing their food. She has 5 kids now. What a mindset! This morning is a prime example of how large families work. MJ was asking where he could set, I told him to either find a place or wait until everyone else ate and then figure out where to set. Amazing he found a seat and ate with everyone. It was all about going and FINDING a chair.
Some of the kids have ventured out to wonder around in the mud. Others seem to be stuck on school work. No one has ask to ride bikes yet. I did have to run MN out of the mud doing chores, she was seeing how muddy she could get her shoes.
I should have taken the camera when I went to check things, it is nice to see mud and full ponds. I did put the ranger in 4wd. I don't think I would have gotten stuck without it, but I don't like walking in the mud, so decided to be safe.
With my living room full of bodies I didn't get my Bible done, so I think I will take my Bible and go find a nice quite place.... maybe my bed to read and study a while. :) Not sure there IS a quite place here. My house is still running over with awake bodies. They are busy playing chess and chatting and annoying each other. How sad it would be to miss all of this with having a small family!

Storm!
Last night as the storm rolled in I had a blast taking pictures. I really can't decide which ones I like best. This isn't all of them, but a few. Can you tell I love storms?
This picture is looking south as the clouds cover the sky.
Looking North, see the difference in the color of the clouds? The pink/red/brown is clouds filled with dirt.
Back to my love of windmills. I love the way you can see how fast this one is spinning.
More of the awesome clouds and wind coming our way.

We were blessed with no damage. Just some awesome pictures of God's power as He rolled the storm over us.
