and the birds are flitting about. I had three yellow birds sitting on my shepard's hook outside my front window. As I was doing things in the house I heard a bird making quite a racket outside. Guess he must have been very hungry and was elated to find a tree to eat from! I got up as close as three feet and was standing behind a group of trees before he flew away.
I am thankful for the cooler weather. We were promised rain for over a week and frankly, I was getting worried. We were using old horse water for the plants. Finally, it rained for some time yesterday, and quite hard too. I was worried that my plants would break in two. I had spent this week working 6 hours in the garden one day just making rows and transplanting plants. It was suppose to rain then. I waited. No rain. So the next day I went out and spent the day mowing making sure the low spots were done before it rained. No rain. Yesterday I decided to weed the daylillies along the driveway. Boy, was it hot and humid! I went back out to the garden and put in the corn and weeded a few rows that were becoming bad. I came inside for some iced coffee and IT RAINED! And boy did it come down. Cooled it right down and made the plants nice and green. I know my tomato plants spurted more leaves just in a few hours!
So today with it starting as overcast, I began inside. I have done the "this and that" stuff that needed to be done. I mended the screen that Jack jumped through the day before yesterday, the undercovering of the couch that is falling away, and pulled out the sewing machine to tackle the basket full of clothes that needed repaired or altered. The sun is shining now that I am done and ready to head to town to take Rebekah to work. Ah, it the rain washed grass smells good!
