in the wee morning hours...
the guys slept in and I and the babies got down to business...
then I went out with the camera...
you can really see the dead grass here...
called mower guy this morning and told him not to bother with us this week...
and it was hazy...
but the clouds overhead had a pink cast to them...
just dotted around...
here and there...
like cotton candy...
and the guys missed the whole thing...
everything is turning brown...
and the haze lingers long in the mornings...
so I went back to bed...
and when I got up...
the guys were busy cleaning...
and it had rained .10...
so we went out to play just a bit...
moving things around for fall...
and we all know it's coming...
I think my blahs are from things becoming stale...
a little change always perks me up...
and I'm in limbo here until the new deck and roof are done...
and who knows when that's going to happen...
waiting and waiting...
I am so ready...
I have never liked anything being permanent...
I like to change it up all the time...
move things around...
and the peeling paint on the deck is starting to get to me...
at first it was cool and fun...
now it just looks dirty to me...
if I had known it was going to take this long...
it would have gotten a coat of cheap paint this spring...
and the lack of rain has everything looking tired...
but, just a few minutes ago, we got a downpour...
didn't last long, but it's more than we have had in over a month...
I miss storms...
I have so missed the rain...
and I so love the peace a cloudy day brings...
hope all of you are taking the time to really enjoy these last few weeks of summer...
before school starts back up...
before the sweaters come out...
before the lightening bugs go back to sleep...
because, around here...
fall just goes way too fast...
and it's my favorite time of the year...
and it will be over in the blink of an eye...
and we all know what comes after that...
not even going to say it...
grab your flipflops, sunglasses and go get an ice cream cone...
later...
