(from the blog: fine little day)
O what a scrumpy picture: when a door shuts, somewhere a window opens. That is what this picture says to me. Also says: mmmmmm, naptime. I remember being young and taking naps and the best were when the breeze blew in the open window. I still love to take naps. I do indeed. With windows open (if a breeze does blow).
And evening.....having windows open - bedroom in particular - with the train-travel noises in the distance (trains whistle? honking? ha). You?
In Manitoba, you can count on some great winds as well - love the days with winds that clean out your soul - I'm not talking about the ones that will blow you down the street and muss your hair and make it go all squirrely - but the ones that seem to pick up and refresh you. Winds of change. Perfect laundry drying winds.
I'm just in from the garden. Huzzy mowed our new sod for the first time! It looks so 'gorg'. Thick and rich and greeny-green-green (that green!). If I was a leprachaun, I'd live and dance on our lawn (lordy, it's growing mushrooms as well with all the rain we've been having). He also watered his grass-seeded side lawn with water-barrel-water - we're having fun with that. Our can (main watering one) doesn't quite fit under the spigot so we'll have to raise it up a bit - if it stops raining long enough for us to 'heave-ho' it up. Good summer to get water barrels I do say! WE've had tons of rain. The rain barrel out front is a leaning-tower-o-pisa at the moment since the new dirt has not settled and the rain barrel got heavier with rain....and 'a la leaning' barrel. But it's not too 'lean-y' and the Huzz will hopefully concoct a solution to the dilemma. Good ol' Huzz. I'm sure he will ;)
Our tomatoes are looking mighty fine as well. Our Fantastic plant has one green tomato on it! It sure 'do'! Exciting! Our multiplier onions are going gangbusters as well - anyone grown these before - it says to pull from the middle - but the whole plant wants to come out - so what gives? Must find out from somebody what up with that. Pull once - all come out - plant done? Or pull and some more grow in? hmmmm. If you know, do message me.
While I was out watering the backyard area, mozzies were finding me, yes they were. Dang buggers. Still itching as I write this. Can always be alot worse but its been so blissful having them NOT around for a long while (then it rained......alot......). Dolly (Parton) says: ' if you want a rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain'. Well dang right Dolly! I like to talk about the weather. It seems alot of Manitobans do. Can always talk to someone about the weather can't ya? And really, we are so lucky. In all sorts of ways. So on that note I will say that I am off to bed. K gave me a book to read and it seems very good (tx sista....) and I love bed so there I head. Nighty-night dearies. ps K - mr bojangles is ready to dance again!
