57079--a walk in the park

[zyzyly]

I took a walk in the park this afternoon. It was a beautiful 70 degree day. I love the weather, but really want it to rain. They have dropped water delivery to farmers in the Central Valley of California to zero. That's where most of the food is grown. Yikes.

I looked through some old books of my grandma's today, searching for the name of her grandfather. I found it--Maurice Powers of Butte Montana. He emigrated from County Cork, Ireland. I looked at the cemetery where he's buried. Seems like a lot of Irish ended up in Montana for some reason. I am guessing there are still distant relatives in Montana. My grandparents used to go up there and ride horses, and I think they were still in contact with a few, but that connection is long gone now.

I hung some pictures today and continued straightening up after the painting. I found an old picture I took of some brown pears and put it up in the hall outside Malida's office. Hope she likes it.

I think it approached 80 today. This is disturbs me.
I think Ky has relatives from County Cork. No wait, maybe it was County Clair. I don't know but it's neat you found the cemetery where he's buried.

Malida has her own office? I'm so jealous.

I am so worried about this drought!

We are planning on buying a new home, but is that what I really want to do? All the bad what-ifs run through my mind. One of our local farmers lost his well and needs $50K to build a new one. Almost all our farmers (and I'm talking about the smaller operations, which is what we try to buy from when we can) are having to go deeper for water from their wells.

Very, very disturbing news.
