The Summer temps have been extremely HOT here in my part of the world. I've lost track of how many days it has hit over a 100 degrees. On record for Kansas, temps hit like 121 degrees back in the DUST BOWL DAYS on JULY 24th, 1936.
Later this afternoon or early evening we are suppose to have thunderstorms......I will welcome the rain, but have my doubts about the thundering part. I DON'T LIKE TORNADOES.
Was hoping to help Hubby bathe the dogs this evening after he gets home from work. I haven't bathed the boys since they were pups. We have had professional groomers groom the dogs for years until my sweet Hubby gave them haircuts and baths this past Spring.
They need loving attention. So we shall see how this pans out.
I have been shuffling furniture again which has caused the dining room table to be a catch all once again.........will i ever learn that i need to thin out my stuff to simplify my life? Yes, I have hopes I will. Getting organized around here is like MOVING all over again. It is exhausting to say the least. I have to be my own CHEER LEADER....YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
This week has been a bit challenging. Sunday night my Husband was bit on top of his head by a BAT. He had gone out after dark to check on our dogs and as he reached over the kennel gate a bat flew into his hair fluttering about. After he came into the house, he asked me to check his head. I did, took pictures and enlarged the pic.
Two small round marks and a gash mark. Started reading on the internet about what bat bites looks like.....off to the Manhattan Hospital we went and he received 12 shots around 1:30 in the morning. We returned home about 3 AM.
He will receive a series of shots over the next few days. Next visit will be Thursday. I am thankful that these shots are available and do not have to be given into the stomach anymore.
I am stunned....husband is stunned.....daughter is stunned. We have been looking the house over for any evidence of bats in the house. Haven't found any. Hubby checked the attic. Thank you God, nothing up there. Now to make our backyard LESS ATTRACTIVE to Bats. We understand that they like HOT temps up to 110. They go looking for places to rest to digest their food. YUCK....me no think me like bats......and will look for places to change so they do not rest in our yard, etc.
This experience has become a TURNING POINT in my husband's life. I think we all have times that there is a TURNING POINT in LIFE. May it be productive and positive!
Hubby has visited with the Vet about our outdoor dogs. They have been vaccinated for rabies....but think they will receive another vaccine shot in very near future. Manhattan, Kansas isn't that far from where we live and there is a neighborhood that is having problems with BATS in their attics.
Hope they don't migrate to our area.....I don't think I can handle Bats.
May God bless and protect us,

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

My, I think I'd like staying inside if that happened to me. Very frightening! I decluttered my kitchen, but am missing some of what I think is cute stuff around. I'm just not a stark living kind of person.♥♫
I was so shocked to read about the bat bite! We have lots of bats here and several of my neighbors have removed them from their homes but we've been fortunate not to have any inside. Hope you hub gets over this quickly with no residual effects. THanks for you comment on my blog. We haven't talked in a year or so. Hope all is good. I agree with you on 'self-imposed clutter'. :D I'm getting rid of a few things now. Stay in touch!

I empathize with your husband! When I was 8 or 9 I had to have a series of rabies shots - 7 of them in my stomach - after getting scratched by a squirrel. I haven't looked at squirrels the same way since!

Oh my, ever since Dracula I haven't had warm and fuzzy feelings about bats. This just makes my feeligs less fuzzy!
Hope things get better soon for sure. We are fighting spiders. Little tiny ones. My eyesight is not what it was so now I am constantly checking corners and doors and windows for cobwebs. The spiders are tiny and so are the webs. Cannot find a colony or whatever they are called. Always something to "bug" us. It has helped me get rid of a few odds and ends however.

Sorry for anybody that has to have the rabies shots.... Thankfully they don't do them in the stomach now, but it is a series of 12 on day one, and then three more on day three, day seven and day fourteen.
I've always been a bit jumpy about bats, I don't like them and I don't I ever will.
