RAIN TAIN GO TO TEXAS

rain rain rain! My grounds are soggy! You feel the water squish out of the grass with every step!
My mud is quicksand mud!!! TEXAS needs rain so i vote to send it to them!!!

April showers in March-i think the world is on a tilt!!!!
I can believe how soggy it is out side-the ground needs to thaw so
this water can soak in!!!

the winds were bad the other night-northeasterly(evil)
the ice came ashore and into houses on the bay-horrible

what are you doing today?

Deann/Mom

keep thinking spring!!!

We have RAIN!!!! Well, slow light drizzle really .. it barely wets the fence but in my book that counts as rain since we have had so little moisture.. anything counts. I am sure the ground is soaking it up. Thank you for wishing it for us!

Good for you I hope it keeps on drizzling for you ;0) we have high winds right now so maybe it will dry up some of the mini lakes in peoples yards and driveways

Dori its a good thing you have a big old farm house !!!! are you going to have a sale ??? I'm going to start some tomatoes tonight I don't know what else
Gloria

yes everything is for sale here -just ask! LOL

Let me know when things are ready and Ill come over you will have to direct me again I know I'll be in your part of the world this spring I all was am ;0)
Gloria

Ok did anyone check the out the gigantopithicus ice that washed up shore and damaged all the houses, I know you did Dori....geese-o-petes! Those poor people...I can't believe all the water levels here too...git yer row boats ready...ya never know...

I would have totaly freaked out I feel so bad for those people can you see your self watching all that ice pushing up on shore ??
Gloria

detheo..........there were so many gawkers wanting to see the ice that police blocked off the roads getting there as it was impossible for workers to get to the shore line and dig those people out. It happened over in Linwood which is south of me and north of Dori .

Deann

i was grew up in linwood!~ I almost went down to gawk too!!! you dont see it everyday!!!
The road blocks didnt work-they still came and they drove right by all the houses!!
Patricia lives out by the bay-state park area!!!

well I guess maybe it's never anything they ever saw....but they need to get out of there and let the people get there jobs done...I know I was completely amazed when I seen it and very heart broken to for the people that suffered the loss...I'm not sure if that happened in the middle of the night or what but can you imagine waking up to that or coming home to that. I know it's a freak of nature but I have so much to be thankful for that I take for granted and whine about...bad me, bad,bad, bad me...

We got a light snow last night. The ground is all white again and the "lake" in the fields seems froze over. The sun is out and warming up the house. I'm fixing to go in the kitchen and make a big pot of vegetable soup and some cornbread.

Dori, I love love love catmint. Mine is blue. I would be most interested in buying your pink catmint when it is big enough. I'd like at least a dozen of them. Let me know when they're ready for sale and we'll make a trip down to Bay City to your place to pick them up. I think they would look spectacular planted in between my dozen Knockout roses. I love them because the deer and rabbits won't eat them and also they're drought tolerant and bloom all summer. I don't like fussy plants but I do like things that are beautiful. My blue ones make a small bush about two feet tall. I have a row of them planted all along my ditch and they are wonderful. The bees like them too. I hope this is the same plant only pink.

Gloria, I hope your wedding goes well and will pray for a nice day. My husband's and my birthday are the same day and he wanted to get married on our birthday. I told him no. That was too much for one day so we got married a couple weeks before our birthday. :) I hope the happy couple have many years together.

Brenda
