If I delete one, will both go?

There is only one now. Still a glitch in the system.

Thaks for starting tea early though as we often times forget.

We had rain all day Saturday. Yesterday was fine today a bit windy. Here in the northeast, our temperatures are expected to go up to almost 90! Very strange weather.

It's been hot here, too. I don't like it.

I met my neighbors 1/2 mile to the east. He does tree removal. I suppose he was out looking for business when he saw my tree down. $200 to take it all. I was afraid it would be lots more than that. I suggested the pine log might be worth something to a cabinet maker and he agreed and will cut it into 8 foot lengths to haul away. I know pine is not good fire wood and it would have ended up being bon fire wood here. I'll still have all the branches to burn. That will take a year.

I took a tea break from making leaf mulch yesterday. Yorkshire Gold has been my go to for awhile now. It was a beautiful day and I sat in the little barn with my cuppa and some chocolate chip zucchini bread a friend bakes for me.

The leaves had already been run through the blo/vac's mulcher last Fall before I bagged them up; but I wanted some finer stuff. So I did them all again. Now I have four bags of great leaf mulch, nice and fine but not too fine. I was sure the forecast called for rain this morning, so I was going to wait and lay the mulch down afterwards. But so far, it's sunny out there.

Well, same friend I mentioned above just called to say she's home from the eye doctor and ready to go flower shopping as we had planned. So I'm off. Have a good day everyone.

WOw Imhappy we could not make a puddle here with out a pond liner. Even after all the snow melted off there was never any puddles other than minor ones when it was pouring down rain.

I had to do the town run yesterday but managed to get home in time to mow the lawns and do some other yardening. Came in at 9:30PM and was very tired. I never did do tea. Was drinking the left over coffee in the pot with ice and milk. Yum.

Raining here and windy. I think the rest of this day will be a mosaic day for me.

We're having a repeat of last night. I hate summer storms. Give me a blizzard any day.

Quick edit. A semi has been blown over on the interstate.

Earlier we had such a down pour of rain the driveway was a total river along with the street. 5 minutes after it stopped raining there was not even a puddle except where the water came off the garage roof and it was not enough to water a wandering kitty. I had to fill water bowls. We had lots of winds and lightening too. Poor dog was so afraid. I gave his his happy pill. Now he is jonked out for the night. Supposed to storm through the night so best he is relaxed. He gets so freaked out.

If we don't have another gully washer I won't have a new lake. My ground is black dirt and then clay a few feet down. Makes a big difference whether it's clay or sand.

Tornado watch until 7 tonight.

OH MY ImHappy . You are getting hammered with frightful weather. I hope all just casually rolls through with no more damage for you.

Yes it totally matters what is under the ground as far as drainage goes. I dug a 2 foot deep post hole today for the bottle tree and hit about 3 dozen small to fist sized rocks I had to bar out of the hole. All around them was good soil. Even after all that rain the soil in the hole was not wet. Damp but I could not make a ball of it in my hand. Seems so weird. It is not sandy. More rocky.

ImHappy, I hope tornado watch time has passed and all is ok!
