soaking up summer...

before it slips away...
the last weeks of fun...
mums coming on...
haven't needed the mower for weeks...
but the inch of rain did amazing things overnight...
and the green is trying so hard to come back...
there is still areas of brown and the cracks in the yard are still there...
and it didn't take long for the breezes today to turn the dark brown earth back to tan...
but, it's an inch...
and every little bit helps...
and rain water is so much better than anything we can give them out of the hose...
there was lots of lightening last night...
so the nitrogen was plenty...
hopefully we will get some more later this week...
and I imagine it will be back to watering tomorrow...
but just for today, we took a break...
and just hung out...
DH is off for a whole week...
just maybe we'll get something done...
have a great night...

Hope you have a great week together, Tete! Love your galvanized wash tub, and the hollyhocks are so pretty. I laughed out loud over your smurf comments on the nude beach! I've not spotted any smurfs out here (not yet, anyway!), but we do have Bigfoot! Yes, we really do!!!
