We are now under drought conditions here. Most of our state is under a moderate drought alert. We have had very little rain for months now. The last real rain we had was back in late March. We have only had 1 1/4 inches of rain since that time. Late May/early June is kinda our rainy season. If you go out and look at our yard, it looks like it is late August. Everything is so brown and dry. We have HUGE cracks in the ground and everything is so dusty.
We got a few sprinkles earlier this week, but it was not enough to really measure in the rain gage. Hopefully we will get some real rain in a few days. We have a chance of rain during our church’s community out reach event (CORE) and we have picnics and all kinds of outdoor projects planned all over the county. We have several churches working with us on projects that give back to our local communities. What better reason for it to rain, lol.
At least I have had some time to work on my etsy shop, and the webpage for the boys’ fundraiser.
The boys are raising money to go to a church camp in FL next summer. It may take us that long to get all the money together, lol. Plane tickets are expensive, even this far in advance. The sooner we can purchase those the better the deal we can get. Then there is the camp deposits, and all the other expenses that go along with getting them there and feeding them, then getting them back home. They are really looking forward to it though.
The fundraiser we have decided on is through Saving Dinner and the webpage is:

We use Saving Dinner to plan out our meals for the week. They have weekly menus, grocery shopping lists, and very helpful tips to help us stay on budget. They have meal plans for everything from breakfast and lunch, to supper recipes and holiday recipes. We are using them for fundraising because their products are truely helpful and a great value.
