A SOGGY SPRING

This has been the absolute wettest spring that I can remember in years. It has rained just about everyday for the past two weeks. I am kind of afraid to stand outside for too long, because of the possibility of moss growing on the north side of me. I guess we can just never be satisfied with the weather. Last year we were in such a drought, that we thought the water table would never recover, now it looks like the water table overfloweth.

One good thing about it is that we finally have a full stand of grass in the yard, not just weeds, dandelions and other wild things. We will be going on vacation next week and I just hope we get the grass mowed before we leave or we will have to get a bush hog in here when we return. I have had the urge to plant things this spring, so I planted a couple of tomato plants and a pepper plant all of which have blooms on them. I am so excited. I really don't have a green thumb and when I get anything past the size it was when I bought it in the little seedling cups, I think I am a farmer.

I am excited to have some time off this summer. I probably want have to work but one week this summer and the rest of the time is mine or at least mine, John's, the grand kids, the kids and whoever and whatever turns up. But you know what I mean. I don't have to punch a time clock. By the time fall rolls around I will be ready to hit it again.

Nothing much has happened in the last week or so except graduation. I hope when I come back from vacation I will have some nice beach pictures and interesting stories to tell. Until then take care.

You better be careful on the drive out to MB. Mark called tonight and we rehashed some of our trips. From the birthing turtle to finding a white Rebox shoe that Mark thought had a foot in it and so forth. LOL. We figure that dragging JP and Emily along will be like the sequel to Mark and I. ENJOY! LOL.
