Rain, rain go away my basement is wet again today

     Whew, rain, rain, and more rain yesterday.  Poor Patty would hold out until she was about to burst before she’d go outside.  Gavin didn’t care, he’s of the when you’ve got to go you’ve got to go school.

     At times it would pour and other times we’d have barely a sprinkle but the entire day was wet, wet, wet.  I’m so glad The Curmudgeon got the yard mowed before all the rain began. 

      The gardens and the grass needed a good soaking, the basement however, did not.  In the forty years I’ve lived in this house I think we’ve had a completely dry basement for one solid year.  More rain predicted for today, lovely, maybe I should get a sump pump…

     You all have a good one!

Lucious Lilacs.

Two steps out the back door and the marvelous fragrance of lilacs overwhelms me.  Heaven.  I have miniature lilac bushes some in the front of the yard and some in the back, and then I have a regular lilac in the side garden.  All are in full and heavy bloom.

Nice day to weed and take pictures

Give me another day like this!

     I need more days like yesterday.  I was out and about with G from 11:30 until after 3.  We went to a bagel shop, a dollar store, and a grocery store. 

     Then we went for a good walk in the park.  All the trees are in bloom there.

Good news and more pictures…

     Ultrasound is over and I passed with flying colors.  Won’t hear about the blood test until my next appointment unless there’s a problem.

     Here’s what the rest of my day was like:

Lovely day in the 80s yesterday

Screaming frog

The frog is in the house!  I was out working around the pond yesterday and our frog decided to make an appearance.  We also have a garter snake in residence.   Of course where there’s one garter snake there are usually more.  I don’t mind them.

Lovely day yesterday…

  Temperatures in the low seventies.  Lots of sun.  Made for a lovely day.  Check out my pictures!
