the yard has been mowed again...

we were out watching Jim mow...
we could hear thunder...
and it got dark for just a few minutes...
this is south of us...
it looked like a downpour that way...
meanwhile, above us...
we could see blue skies...
there's moss growing on the bricks in the shade of the walnut...
I laid those bricks 2 years ago...
the guys dug out the ground and I sat on my butt and leveled under each one...
adding sand...
I wanted it rolling...
not level level...
it's easier to lay them level...
and the sun is still shining...
the smallest marigolds that I have ever seen...
and as I was getting out of the shower...
Jimmy H showed up with 2 gallons of black berries...
we picked over a gallon of green beans this morning and still have more to get...
pies and shakes were mentioned before supper...

another rainy morning...

it wasn't raining when I stepped out here...
tis a bit humid...but not hot yet...
notice the umbrella in the corner...
of course I'm not letting a little rain stand in my way,,,
Craig had one and I had one...
then just as soon as it got everything wet...
it quit...
so then we went out and found the knock out rose is blooming again...
and I started picking green beans...
but between the mosquitoes and biting flies...
I came back in...
Craig is out there now trying to get them picked...
he really likes them...

rain clouds moved through last night...

we did not get a lot of rain...
but we did get the humidity back...
and it is still overcast this morning...
a brief hole in the clouds...
