Whew ....

   it finally rained.  2 1/2 weeks without is a long time without rain in August.  1/2 inch -- need more, we'll take what we can get.  then it turned steeeemy, really steeemy -- makes things grow -- can not complain.  or in my case -- makes things ripen.  did the patch walk -- less deer today -- either the caution tape flopping in the breeze, the scarecrows, the "liquid fence" or just the plain nasty weather seems to have slowed them down a bit.  will have to respray tomorrow night --

  i can't believe how i fuss over the weather.  it's not like i can do anything about it -- i've tried the rain dance -- it didn't work -- tried the sun dance -- again no such luck.  could be worse -- no hurricanes or earthquakes in my corner of this world.  i'm liking the blizzards and the cold more and more every day!  and we don't mention the t word anymore -- in my cleaning I found some t pictures ... 12 1/2 years ago ... somedays it seems like only yesterday. 

  thank you mother nature for the rain.   keep the hurricanes & earthquakes in other places please!
