Good morning, Voltpeeps.

Raven - My thoughts are with you.

It rained last night. Not hard but I'll take what I can get. I figure it was just enough to get the weeds going again. You'd be surprised at how little moisture it takes to encourage desert weeds. It is cloudy and windy outside so maybe we will get a little more rain. I have hope.

I should head into town after my cleaning job today. Pick up a few things and go to the bank. Maybe have a burger for lunch.

We haven't had any rain in over two weeks now. It's been kind of warm during the day and in the upper 50's at night. When I got up this morning it was a "little" foggy. The back fence was hard to see and that's about 200' from the kitchen window. It cleared off and is approaching 80 already.

We'll be spending the day outside, AGAIN. Mrs. Awsum took the day off. I'll be working on adding topsoil/mulch to the front yard low spots and then roto till them in, lime and throw out some grass seed. When did grass seed get more expensive than "wacky weed" or gasoline? I sure hope this stuff takes and stays for a change. It's getting very frustrating to have a nice lawn for a few months followed by sparse/bare shortly thereafter.

I'm glad to hear that bruise is just a bruise, Celt. I know what you mean about bruises. I get them and wonder how, really, 'cause I never notice what happened because I'm busy doing something or other. Worse yet is not noticing I've cut myself until I see blood somewhere and, again, wonder how the heck I did it.

That's normal for me too Roland. I'll be walking around dripping blood or with a black and blue arm and somebody will invariably ask how I got it. I kinda feel stupid when I answer "I dunno".

I'm afraid I have some bad news. Rave's sister in TX died yesterday. She found out sometime after she got home from my place. She's taking it pretty hard so she probably won't be around for a few days. She didn't want you all to worry if she disappears for awhile. I'll leave the details for her to tell.

Sorry to hear that Terry. Please add my name to the condolences. Siblings are hard ones. Been there twice.

Lunch time after a busy morning of shoveling, screening the proceeds, dumping the proceeds and raking the proceeds. Got about a cubic yard done, so far, with another yard or so to go. It's funny how little a cubic yard is when you start spreading it out. I wish my back muscles would quit complaining though. Now I know why a shovel is called an "idiot stick" for sure, LOL.

Nice that the join date and location are back, save a few clicks every now and then.

Good morning, Voltpeeps. The pretty sky blue iris are blooming around the pond. If you look closely you can see two faces peeking, trying to see what I am up to.

The golden locust is starting to leaf out and it really is golden. We had lots of clouds yesterday. We finally got some rain about midnight. Nice to listen to the rain and smell the moist air as I was going to sleep.

moanin', Volties.

We've been in the 80's for the last four days or so. It was supposed to be foggier this morning than yesterday morning but it was clear, cloudy but clear. I felt a few drops of rain when I walked Bo but it's supposed to clear off as the day goes on.

Exactly how much time do you get to spend in that lounge chair, Lizzie? LOL
