If this is the end of the world as we know it, I think I could be pretty comfortable with the new world.  It somehow seems very familiar to me.  Meme is visiting for the weekend and we spent the day outside.  They played together and I weeded.  These 40 days and 40 nights of rain have caused everything to grow like weeds.  Especially the weeds! But it was a nice, sunny, and lovely day to be outside. 

Earlier this week, I decided to create a pond on our deck.  We have some plants in there now and the fountain is running.  Next Saturday we are going to Grandpa Ron's and he is going to give us a few goldfish from his ponds.  It will be interesting to see how it goes because Baylor thinks this is a good place to play right now.  He puts stuff in it and takes water out.  The plants end up on the table, rocks go in and never come out.  Hopefully the hiding place I have created under the slate slab with give them a place to go.  

We had to get a new bubble machine already.  We are pretty tough on them. This is my favorite as it works the best, but the bubble container falls off all the time because he thinks he needs to move the machine all the time.

I planted the three tomato plants, four cucumber plants, and some of the annuals.  But I need to do some more weeding before the rest go in the ground. 

Baylor 'mowed' the yard most of the afternoon.  By mowing I mean Meme pushed him around on the John Deere because he won't peddle it.  His legs are a bit short still for him to get the right rhythm. 

I have never mentioned this before but I am a champion dish stacker.  It is a talent I learned from my mother and she learned from a neighbor when we lived in Las Vegas.  I have piled them higher than the cabinet before.  It is all about balance and it is a skill I am very proud of!

I knew we will wake up tomorrow and life will go on.  It is not such a bad thing and we have a pretty good life. 

Take care.
