Thunderous Days

Thunderous ? Is there such a word ?  We have never had so much thunder, cracks and rolling thunder that has gone on and on and on. And the rain !! My gardens are soggy; don't know how the root vegetables are going to fare. Our grass looks the best it has in years. We finally have grass growing on former sparse parts. Alas, we also have mushrooms  as do our neighbours ! My ED says that is a good thing that mushrooms are growing in the lawn, something she had learned in her Master Organic  Gardener course. However they really annoy my husband. The lawn is so wet, we won't be able to cut it til we get some drying weather. 


Blogger is acting up today. It is very frustrating !

We have spent the weekend just pottering about, doing a little of this and a little of that, a lot of reading ! The mosquitos are so bad, they limit the time to work in the gardens. 

The last storm we had on Saturday was so bad that visibility was atrocious. A friend of my YD's mother hydroplaned and her jeep rolled . Thankfully she wasn't badly hurt but my ED went out to help ferry 5 children to my YD's home. The woman who witnessed the accident [ and who had also hydroplaned] didn't even phone 911. Ambulance and police said they would not come out to the scene as they had too many bigger accidents to attend to ! 

Strange, strange weather ! If someone does not believe in climate Change, well they have not been paying attention.
Only another 4 weeks and then I am back to work !! July has flown by. It'll be even quicker as we have the Olympics in Rio and I am an Olympic nut ! I am going to finish the third round of hexagons and then I'll start work on the remaining stockings. Should be able to finish them completely during the Olympics.

Not much going on today . A howling cat woke me up this morning, Hubby, too, but he was able to go back to sleep !!

Must think of what I want to use up in the freezer as I need room for more sour cherries. I processed 10 pounds yesterday. YD wants some so she had better come pick quickly as they are starting to split with all the r a in. I need to send Hubby to the store to pick up some sugar to start making some jam.  Other than that, I'm reading, eating and sewing.
