It will be fine and then the next time I check it, they are there.
BEWARE!
went out this morning, got a tad of rain through the night...

so we didn't have to water, thinking more might come this afternoon...

so we did a little rearranging with the fence sections...

took a walk, too...

dead headed a few things...

they have been spraying bad ties...

so will be replacing them this summer...
fun to watch how they do it...

mulberries are good bird feed...
and yes, they are pooping purple all over the place...

blooms on the green beans...

and they are purple!
my favorite color...
or is it colour???
;0)

came in for lunch and started on my bedroom and bath...
heard thunder...
and my boy, who has some fun ideas sometimes...
thought it would be nice to watch the rain come in...

so we stopped and went out on the deck...
it was just a bare sprinkling going on...
so I did what any normal person would do...

I sat on the steps in the rain...
and it was nice, so I walked around and twirled around...
while my poor son thought his mom had lost her mind...
;0)

note to self...
white, thin tank tops become transparent when wet...
I have on my 'tutti frutti' bra this morning...
multi colored pinstripe...
good thing the neighbors can't see in the yard is all I am saying about that...
cuz I got drenched...

the storm has passed now, after we came in and finished what we started...
Craiger wanted a day to cook...
???
what's up with that?
;0)
so he is cooking...
chicken noodles, mashed potatoes, dressing...
the works...

just a glimpse of what we worked on this morning...
have plans on moving some plants around here, too, this weekend...
got DH to myself tomorrow, but both guys will be here Sunday...

I so cannot believe it is Friday...
or that they haven't got the truck fixed yet...

got the pathology report back on my lumpy boob and it was negative...
;0)
trying not to flare today...
it keeps trying and I ward it off...
just resting here a bit, blogging and listening to Matchbox 20...
love, love, love...
'If You're Gone'
;0)
so, off with you now...
and do something fun...
and if you get the chance to dance in the rain...
I highly recommend it...
;0)
just wear something darker than your bra...

you can see the steam rise over the fields and the haze on the highways...

another early morning...

keeping things watered...

the bird bath and the feeders full...

redneck sprinkler...
;0)
I had to have my hands free to take pictures...

Craig went to the movies tonight with a friend...
in Paris...
so I am trying to eat my whopper he brought home and blog...

they saw...
How To Train Your Dragon 2...
got day lilies and cone flowers ready to bloom soon...

they are still trying to figure out the truck...
I told the guy today to just take it and drive it until it does it...

another cone flower out here...
one I got last year on clearence...
I think its purple...

seems like everything is digging this weather...
except me...

just cannot believe the corn fields and how much they are growing over night now...

my little photo bomber...
he is learning 'no bark' this week...

see!
the old saying was knee high by the fourth of July...
when I was a kid...
in Ohio...
here in Illinois, its head high by the fourth of July...
I don't think it will have any problems making that...

a bit of the moon was out this morning...

'corn is boring, show me some trees to pee on'...

there will be plenty to do out here when the temps go down...
the weeds are liking this weather, too...

and so are the bugs...
I can't wait for a break in this so I can get back out there...
I did feel better today and got some work done inside...
just the basics and some cooking...
and a nap or two...

Doug and Paula are coming up tomorrow afternoon...
do not have anything planned but just visit...
;0)
sometimes, that's just all that is needed to do...

have a great day and weekend if you don't get back around...

another miserable day on the prairie...

I have no idea where this heat and humidity came from...
but it can leave anytime...

I stayed inside all day...
Craig took me for a walk after 8 tonight...

I think the farmer might want to replant some of his beans...

but our beans are doing great...

and there are baby tomatoes...

I walked back here tonight...
and there are blooms on them now...

so ready for fresh green beans and sliced tomatoes...

the mechanic called on the truck today...
they can't get it to die...

;0)
isn't that the way it always goes?

if we don't get the slight chance of rain tonight...
we will be out watering early in the morning...
things looked a little dry tonight...

but no matter...
its still better than all that snow we got last winter...
and no matter how hot it gets...
there is always a time when you can get out...
;0)
I hope y'all had a good day...
and found something to be thankful for...
something to pray for...
and time for you...

an oops kind of a day...

got up to this this morning...
someone, not mentioning any names...
but this has Lester written all over it...
toppled the bird bath...
and no one is going to accuse me of having dirty birds...

got up and just headed out...
no shower, no make up...
in my jammie pants and all...

because the dew point is in the 70s for a few days...
and the temps are high enough to make it miserable...

so, while Craig was hunting down some broken bricks...
you know I keep everything cuz you just might need it...
I grabbed some shots...

and dead headed the roses...
all the while the birds are totally ticked off...
because we disturbed their breakfast time...

but it was worth it...

Craig had today off, but we didn't get much done at all...

he did find some brick pieces and we filled the pot the bird feeder sits on...

got it all moved back into place and he hauled a bucket of water out here to fill it up...

nice and clean...
probably not for long...
but for now the oops is fixed...

the autumn clematis is filling in around the bike...

and the lilies are blooming out here now...

not having very good days lately...
and not sure I don't have a bug and its not all fibro flaring...

could be a little of both...

we have more things to move in here later...

it just takes time...
and gardening is never ending...

took several naps today and even read a book...
not a bad book, either...
a smut book...
its what the guys call romance novels...
'Sleepless in Scotland' by Karen Hawkins...
I liked it...
been staying off of the internet...
just maybe bored with it...
taking most of my energy to just get through the day...
and sleeping at night for a change...
sleeping a lot for me...

they were just getting to the truck late this afternoon...
so have no idea what's wrong or how much...
hoping they call before lunch tomorrow...
its really hard to plan rides for the guys when we have no clue...
Craig works tomorrow so is hitching a ride with a friend...
and hoping he will be driving the truck home...
its less than a block from where he will be and he can walk there to get it...
;0)
I sure hope y'all are having good days...
and if its nasty there, that you are staying inside most of the time...
working outside early and late...
walking when the sun goes down...
