Upcoming July Live Music Events
Well, what a nice break in the weather for the 4th of July Weekend! Most outdoor events went off without a hitch! Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Holiday!
But, I feel that the third week of Summer will bring it all back into seasonal temps and humidity. It’s a good thing Spring and Fall, heck, even Winter weather are tolerable enuf to up with the high temps, skeeters and flies! I have seen a lotta purty garden pics. I got a few maters and a row of okra planted between rain and sick spells! And I can’t believe that I would ever say this BUT I am craving a mess of yeller squash, straight or crookneck! Just one mess, tho!
