rainy days and Mondays...

what's a poor kitty to do when its raining?

nap on the deck...

got half of a inch this morning...

and it was cooler when it was raining...

but when it was over...

that old sun came out and the humidity was awful...

don't get a poodle wet...

or they poof!

there was a good breeze this evening, but still humid...

I am not sure if this is ever going to leave!

but we do have a cold front moving in this week...

and we will be in the 70s again...

hostas are blooming...

and the grapevine is loving this weather...

did the typical after the weekend cleaning and laundry today...

and maybe, just maybe...

Craig and I will hit Paris just for fun tomorrow...

who know what will happen...

could get more thunderstorms, so might be a good day to shop...

and save the other days for being outside...

;)

have a good night

Sunday...

we worked on the backside of the south yard...

with some help...

it was cloudy 95% of the day...

but no rain happened...

moved the small clay pots here...

and we sorted all the other plastic ones that we aren't keeping...

washed the new ones up...

and pitched the rest...

we didn't work too hard today...

a lot of puttering...

did lunch and someone got a nap...

but it wasn't me...

and we sat under the shade of the walnut...

photo bombed again!

pretty quiet day...

;0)

hope you had one, too...

the cookout last night...

we were back under all those pines...

and the bathroom was really close...

Alan grabbed DHand pushed him down to the water while we were waiting on the food to cook...

DH pushed me down to the water before most of the people showed up...

and I did stay out of the lake...

and my chair is safe...

it was almost like glass...

and it wasn't too bad out there...

not many showed up...

but we still had a good time...

geese...

this isn't good for fishing for bluegill...

your lines get snagged up on stuff like that...

the water is clear, for here...

much of the time its so muddy you can't see anything...

pretty...

Eli and his dad...

he had just smacked his dad in the back of the head...

he wanted to play some more...

there's a crabby camper...

but the food was ready...

the lid had some technical difficulties...

coming for the food...

my DH and Alan...

Eli...

and the eating began...

the cookout was for 3 elevators, so there should have been a lot more people...

but those of us that did go...

had fun...

and it wasn't that far from home...

we were there over 3 hours...

;0)

both guys are working today...

got laundry going...

vacuumed the living room...

steamed the kitchen floor...

played with Charlie...

and need to see about doing lunch soon...

it keeps clouding up like its going to rain...

then the sun pops back out...

then it clouds up again...

just can't make up its mind...

;0)

waiting on the mower guy to come...

and hoping the humidity goes down a bit...

got a breeze back today...

have a fun day and good weekend!

my birthday guy had a good day...

even if he did have to work...

Craig and I made meatloaf and baked potatoes...

he even baked a cake for his dad...

tomatoes are chin high with blooms and tomatoes on them...

we slept late and had to do a store run this morning...

and when we got home, lunch...

before the cooking began...

we did manage some outdoor time...

I changed this to...

this...

with the free pots we got...

love it...

started to clean off the deck, but it was so hot out there...

and the air was on in here...

so we came back in and went back out after supper to finish up and feed the birds...

got hubby's company picnic tomorrow night at 4...

just 3 miles north of here in a state park...

so not too far to go...

Craig has to work, so will miss it this year...

and I need to be on my toes...

there are rumors that some of the guys he works with...

might push me into the lake...

;0)

I might have said a thing or two in the past...

all in jest, but I do poke fun when I can...

and they haven't forgotten...

silly men...

take Mark, for instance...

his wife posted on facebook that she needed help finding her daughter a prom dress that didn't cost a fortune...

I might have said...

"look in Mark's closet"

and then there's Scotty...

the first time I saw him...

I might have said...

"he looks just like Elmer Fudd!"

which was heard by their boss...

who thought it was hilarious, because he did...

and then at work, he did a search online for Elmer saying certain lines...

and would play them over their radios...

and while the guys were eating lunch inside...

and there are a couple of others, too...

I might want to put noodle floats on the wheel chair...

would hate to lose a good chair in the lake...

;0)

I hope they don't pick one of the places that has a boat ramp...

pray for my chair...
