Rain This AM . . .

We had a thunderstorm blow in this AM about 7:15 or so.  Probably got a tenth of inch or so of rain.  Good for the grass and trees.  Cleans out the atmosphere and washes off the tree leaves and they look much better.  But then it is like a tonic to the grass that just got fertilized. 

So probably grass cutting this PM.  If not it will get out of control.  I'll fire up the weed eater, do the edging, weed trimming and then set up the blower for Judie.  I am not trusted with blowing duties, she has her pet standards.  If you are a piece of debris; look out, you gonna get blown away.

She has her book club Tuesday and I have been summarily banned from the premises.  Go somewhere, does not matter where, but be gone. 

Thursday, she launches for Madison and taste of young grandchildren.  She loves it but will be totally worn out by the time she returns.  And they know she is coming and are waiting with baited breath for her to arrive.  Seriously, she provides a small respite for the parents who love it.

She will be back Monday and just in time to, well you know, cut the grass again.  Such is life amongst us old folks, moving from one grass cutting to the next.

And the Fourth of July is coming up.

Update.  It was 0.7 inches of rain.  A goodly amount.  To top it off, we had yet another thunder storm come through this morning, the 18th of June, and got yet another 0.9  inches of rain.  Pretty soon, if this keeps up, we will be a rain forest - not.
