A trip to mailbox
By the temperature you would not have known it was the 3rd day of July and the first day of the Dog days of summer. Had several visitors to day and they all said the Garden was really growing as you can see by the video that I got my flowers pots put by the mailbox as i continue to try to make my pace look better as good as it did when i moved here but it is hard with me limited to working from chair but i believe it will take shape. I seen on fox news where we had no World War 1 monuments and was was unusual was the only living Veteran of WW1 was a resident of Charles Town West Virginia Frank Buckles is his name he is 108 years old imagine the history he has seen from mans first flight to man walking on moon and all the wars he has seen since he fought the war to end all wars.
I enjoyed my bible study today it was on healing and how Jesus is the same then and today

COOL DAY IN THE GARDEN
It was a cold day for July the second as it only neared 66 degrees and it was rainy and cool the garden looked good this day as it was in need of a gentle rain and it did that off and on many times today. Got my new bible study books and started to work again on them. Went up to roses yard sale tody got a wireless router gave to me and bought two plastic flower urns for my front walk near my mailbox. An a world globe for my radio room.
The bible verse that stood out to me during my study was I Peter 2:24 as it tells how Jesus suffered for our Sins the verse is from the New International version of the Bible{24..He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.}

It was a beautiful day here at my home had visitors to my hanging garden of beans, cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes. I also harvested some cut flowers from my start at a flower garden they are a beautiful white. the garden seems to be doing well as I enjoy tending it i hope to add by next years three more raised beds and also a fall garden this year.

Here is a small Bell pepper hanging from a plant At my rear steps

I was a great day here a day here as the sun shined most of the day it became cloudy though and we had a shower of rain around 5pm. The garden looked great as i done my normal photos so to keep track also front yard starting to take shape for i hope to get front porch cleaned off the lower fall bed on the left ramp and maybe one by garage to let me grow stuff I have to do something to keep busy My Bible study try to get first book done by Sunday. Also worked on verses for Sunday school I enjoy that very much.

Well there was more news on the quest of North Korea to build more Nuclear weapons and it is possible they 'll have missiles that can strike the western USA. I Know words don't mean much but we cannot let this happen as They 'l l surely hold us hostage with that threat and to think we would go back to 1960's when we were under constant readiest for a nuclear blast of crouching when we hear a siren.

Well that all be sure to watch my garden video and to check my face book and my space for more pictures

Today was the 15Th of June was partly cloudy a light breeze had two different humming bird show up at the feeder today. had a treat baked the trout Jr. had caught it was real good had huge flakes of meat brings back memories of trout fishing at Bergoo in Webster County we always caped near the trestle a great meal was trout ramps fried potatoes

Hoed the beans out today should help them grow. All the other plants look great weather for area is partly cloudy showers likely tomorrow night and Wednesday and chance the rest of the week 83 and 58 degrees no rain today

There not much else going on working on my studies waiting for Tyler county 2 meter net to start.

Had a great day at church we started a new study series with different teaching Material every much like the books we use to use until we started new way there is more bible study.


I also started a 60 part study series this is the final series i have to complete unless the write up a more complex series I am enjoying it very much.


I got and unsuspected treat my cousin Jr caught a very nice Rainbow trout an i will have him for lunch tomorrow.

As you can see from the picture on the left my hanging garden is doing well cousin Jr could believe how they were growing.

This starts their third week of hanging and i am looking at heirloom seeds for a nice selection of fall seeds as there can be a second growing season if we can cover for the cold snap coming on October 20 of this year according to the farmers almanac http://www.almanac.com/garden/frostus.php

The rest of my plants are doing great please watched the video i have made of photos i took today.


This is a another of my hobbies is photography I can blend it in with my gardening and amateur radio

Any container will make a place to plant your plants all you need is a drill to put holes to keep the water out you can put paper in the bottom to hold soil in it will rot up in soil and add nutrients to the soil i use that junk mail i got one good way to recycle it news paper or any paper will return to the soil you will need potting soil to.

These are my few basic garden tools a hoe and a shovel.

This below is my watering can for the mall containers

To the right are my small hand tools (left to right) a small spade a small paring knife a hand culvator a big hand spade and a large butcher knife.

As seen here my brother John And Dan my friend are gwetting my yard and garden to looking very good with our version of hanging tomato planters and my raised bean bed is doing great with dirt bought from a local trucking company.

This is a great way to keep busy i also enjoy figuring out wild plant and from time to time I will try to Id the plants in my yard and surrounding little area around my little world....

This is mybeans as they grow each day i try to picture them.

This picture is of a wild vine i am currently trying to ID it.

As you can see from the photo above it was quite a cloudy and rainy day with some rumbles of thunder was around with a cool day in the seventies.

Use my first herbs from the small herb garden. The first was some thyme and oregano i added to my potato soup

I used potatoes celery carrots and salt black pepper and some fresh herbs with low fat milk this will be my soup of the week next week i love soup for my lunch with a wedge of corn bread .

My Half runner beans are doing good they seem to have been drawn right up out of the ground as they seem to grow over night. They are pictured on the left here.

One of the many containers of bush or bunch beans are doing well. as during the ladder part of the depression and World War Two all containers and areas were used and veges herbs were grown to help feed the people even thought many things shapes and sizes of containers were used You can compost the plants after bearing is done to make new soil come spring but the garden is never truly asleep during winter I will be trying many different things.

A sign of the times sense 9/11 people are on high alert and should be but when i was a boy people traveling would stop at our home near the church and ask if we had any food and there was never a thought of calling the cops well it may not have been possible. Mom would give they usually what she had jelly butter fresh baked bread or other items she had canned from our gardens we had a cow so we had milk if she didn't get into the wild onions that made the milk onion flavored. We had eggs and we had our own meats we butchered every year hogs and a beef for winter we had allot of chickens and ducks and ring neck pheasants to .

Now people call the law if someone knocks on their door wanting to sell something.

King James Version (KJV)
Romans 15:14-33
Listen to this passageView commentary related to this passage
14And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
18For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
21But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
23But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
24Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
25But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
29And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
32That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
King James Version (KJV)

In my daily reading i read this passage Paul had wrote the church in rome as he told how he enjoyed spreading the word of Jesus and being filled with the holy spirit.

Reading the Word and gardening to me are linked a way to give you peace of mine.

Well I am done for today gtoing to do a cross word puzzle.

You can see more of my photos of my Garden on my face book account

A
Any container can be used to make planters and you can grow a variety of vegtables with Items you no longer use around the house and the dollar or 99cents stores in your area for containers. the top left photo are little containers bought at a dollar zone store and the potting soil was bought from the local stores also and not that exspensive and can be reused for next year if you add by adding your own compost that you make from your on lawn and garden clippings the photo on the right is a little storage container all the conatainers must have holes to let the excess water drain away.

Well I am writing my first blog about my Garden and some of the experiments. like what my friend Dan called a garden in a bucket it holds a Bell pepper plants, cucumbers, and tomato plant this the black 7.5 gallon buc ket my brother john help me build using a mbucket he had and sponges bought at the local Dollar store.

This my garden for today as i get ready to turn in will try to update daily

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to
the ground.
The average forward speed is 30 mph but may vary from nearly stationary to 70
mph.
Tornadoes can occur at any time of the year.
TORNADO SAFETY
IN HOMES OR SMALL BUILDINGS:
Go to the basement (if available) or to an interior room on the lowest floor, such as
a closet or bathroom. Wrap yourself in overcoats or blankets to protect yourself
from flying debris.
IN SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, FACTORIES, OR SHOPPING CENTERS:
Go to interior rooms and halls on the lowest floor. Stay away from glass enclosed
places or areas with wide-span roofs such as auditoriums and warehouses. Crouch
down and cover your head.
IN HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS:
Go to interior small rooms or halls. Stay away from exterior walls
or glassy areas.
IN CARS OR MOBILE HOMES:
ABANDON THEM IMMEDIATELY!! Most deaths occur in cars and mobile homes.
If you are in either of those locations, leave them and go to a substantial structure
or designated tornado shelter.
IF NO SUITABLE STRUCTURE IS NEARBY:
Lie flat in the nearest ditch or depression and use your hands to cover your head.

Longest path: April 4, 1974 Tornado – 65 miles – covered McDowell, Wyoming, Raleigh,
Fayette, Summers and Greenbrier Counties.
Deadliest: The Shinnston tornado on June 23, 1944 - killed 103 people in West Virginia.
Widest: 300 yards - June 2, 1988 in Preston County near Glade Farms and on May, 21
1967 in Randolph County.
Costliest: June 2, 1988 in Preston County near Glade Farms - $ 7 million dollars in damage
and possibly the 1944 Shinnston tornado, no damage estimates were available.

All thunderstorms produce lightning and are dangerous. Lightning kills more people each year than tornadoes.
Lightning often strikes as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Many deaths from lightning occur ahead of the
storm because people try and wait to the last minute before seeking shelter. You are in danger from lightning if you
can hear thunder. If you can hear thunder, lightning is close enough that it could strike your location at any moment.
Get inside!!
Lightning injuries can lead to permanent disabilities or death. On average, 10% of strike victims die; 70% of
survivors suffer serious long term effects.
Blue Skies and Lightning. Lightning can travel sideways for up to 10 miles. Even when the sky looks blue and clear, be
cautious. If you hear thunder, take cover. At least 10% of lightning occurs without visible clouds overhead in the sky.
􀁡 There is NO safe place to be outside in a thunderstorm.
􀁡 If you can't get into a fully enclosed building or vehicle, do not seek shelter under
trees or partially open structures. Sitting or crouching on the ground is NOT safe and
should be your last resort.
􀁡 Avoid leaning against vehicles. Get off bicycles and motorcycles. Avoid metal! Don't
hold on to metal items such golf clubs, fishing rods, tennis rackets or tools.
􀁡 Get out of the water. It's a great conductor of electricity. Don't stand in puddles of
water, even if wearing rubber boots.
􀁡 Move away from a group of people. Stay several yards away from other people. Don't
share a bleacher bench or huddle in a group.

SEVERE WEATHER TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Warning - a particular weather hazard is either imminent or has been reported. A
warning indicates the need to take immediate action to protect life and property.
The type of hazard is reflected in the type of warning (e.g., tornado warning, blizzard
warning).
Watch - a particular hazard is possible, or when conditions support its occurrence. A watch is a recommendation for
planning, preparation, and increased awareness (i.e., to be alert for changing weather, listen for further information,
and think about what to do if the danger materializes).
Tornado - A violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and extending from the base of a thunderstorm.
Severe Thunderstorm - A thunderstorm that produces tornadoes, hail 0.75 inches or more in diameter, or winds of
50 knots (58 mph) or more.
Straight-line Winds - Generally, any wind that is not associated with rotation, used mainly to differentiate them
from tornadic winds.
Flood - The condition that occurs when water overflows the natural or artificial confines of a stream or other body of
water, or accumulates by drainage over low-lying areas.
Flash Flood - A flood that rises and falls quite rapidly, usually as the result of intense rainfall over a relatively small
area. Usually it occurs within 6 hours of a rain event.
Slight Risk (of severe thunderstorms) - Implies well-organized severe thunderstorms are expected, but in small numbers
and/or low coverage.
Moderate Risk (of severe thunderstorms) - Indicates a potential for a greater concentration of severe thunderstorms
than the slight risk, and in most situations, greater magnitude of the severe weather.
High Risk (of severe thunderstorms) - Suggests a major severe weather outbreak is expected, with a high concentration
of severe weather reports and an enhanced likelihood of extreme severe (i.e., violent tornadoes or very damaging
convective wind events occurring across a large area).
Supercell - A thunderstorm with a persistent rotating updraft. Supercells are rare, but are responsible for a remarkably
high percentage of severe weather events - especially tornadoes, extremely large hail and damaging straight-line
winds.
Squall Line - A solid or nearly solid line or band of active thunderstorms.
Downburst - A strong downdraft resulting in an outward burst of damaging winds on or near the ground. Downburst
winds can produce damage similar to a strong tornado. Although usually associated with thunderstorms, downbursts
can occur with showers too weak to produce thunder.
Funnel Cloud - A condensation funnel extending from the base of a towering cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud, associated
with a rotating column of air that is not in contact with the ground (and hence different from a tornado). A condensation
funnel is a tornado, not a funnel cloud, if either a) it is in contact with the ground or b) a debris cloud or
dust whirl is visible beneath it.
Cold-air Funnel - A funnel cloud that can develop from a small shower or thunderstorm when the air aloft is unusually
cold (hence the name). On rare occasions, small, relatively weak tornado can occur. These weak tornadoes last
only a few minutes and are generally much less violent than other types of tornadoes.

Flood and Flash Flood Information
FLOOD AND FLASH FLOOD SAFETY TIPS
• Monitor NOAA All Hazards Radio or your favorite news source for vital weather
information.
• If flooding occurs, get to higher ground, away from areas subject to flooding.
• Avoid areas already flooded and do not attempt to cross flowing streams.
• Do not drive around barriers that warn you the road is flooded. Some cities and
counties will issue a fine to motorists who ignore barriers!
• Never drive through flooded roadways as road beds may be washed out under
flood waters.
• If your vehicle is suddenly caught in rising water, leave it immediately and seek
higher ground.
• Do not camp or park your vehicle along streams and washes, if there is a threat of
flooding. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize flood dangers.
CHECK OUT THE ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC PREDICTION SERVICE (AHPS)
AHPS is a great tool to check out the latest in river flood information. Information on flood stage, flood
impacts and any current flood warnings or statements is available for each station on the map. If you live
or work near a river or stream, this page will be of great help to you! www.weather.gov/ahps
Hazardous Weather Outlook: This product alerts the public when flood producing rainfall is expected in 36
to 72 hours or if any severe weather threat is expected. During the months of February and March, this product
also contains information on the potential for flooding from the spring snow melt.
Flood Watch: A flood or flash flood watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding or flash flooding
to develop.
Flash Flood Warning: A warning is issued when rapid flooding is imminent. Flash floods quickly develop
within six hours of a heavy rainfall event.
Flood Advisory (issued as a Flood Statement): These statements are issued when minor flooding problems
are expected, mostly in flood prone urban areas, near small streams that may rise quickly out of their banks or
larger rivers that rise near flood stage. Even minor flooding can cause huge problems if proper precautions are
not taken.

According to
FEMA:
The average annual
U.S. flood losses from 1996-2005
was more than $2.4 billion.
Hurricanes, winter storms and snow
melt are common (but often overlooked)
causes of flooding.
On June 19, 2008, eighteen counties
in West Virginia received a FEMA
Disaster Declaration for severe
storms, tornadoes, flooding, mudslides
and landslides.
