Update From The Compound

 Yesterday, the roofers came and put on a new roof on the little red barn. It looks great.  Now the only big job I'm waiting on is a visit from our electrician to see and fix why the security light on the barn isn't working.  It's always something. 

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 Once again, it got to 100 yesterday here at The Compound. Instead of going out to get carry out fish for supper, we opted for Progresso soup and a sandwich here in our air conditioning.  The forecast is projecting 100 again today.  After breakfast this morning, I went out and did a 15 minute outdoor chore before it got to 187 degrees.

It reached 100 yesterday, and it's supposed to get to 100 again today.  I sure hope that they cancel tonight's high school football games.  

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 It was 100 degrees here the past two days, and the same is forecasted for today and tomorrow.  I'm thankful for our a/c.  I had a small yard job to do, and I plan to get out in the morning before breakfast and knock it out. 

Fair Wrap Up

 The state fair ended yesterday, and for the first time I can remember, it didn't rain on any days of the fair.  And until yesterday, the temperatures were in the low to mid 80s.  I'm sure the good weather will have increased attendance.
