Stopped raining here for moment…heavy mist though.
More relaxed sleep,still in tranches but feel better for it.
Shopping perhaps?

Good morning all

Blurry-eyed and not much sleep. Weather better after pyrotechnics yesterday late evening- sky black as night and lightning flashing around. Garden got a good soaking yesterday. Still hampered by cuts on both feet which are reluctant to heal because I’m on blood thinners. So quiet day with feet up I think watching cricket World Cup – England v. Bangladesh. Should be good and a close one.

Sorry your snooker was so bad Doug – I used to play ….. badly! I think co-ordination of the body gets worse as we age.

Good day all,

Another sunny day ahead.

Cat fed and petted and coffee made.

My sleep is usually done in three parts.

More work outside today.

Here is the view from my half-bath yesterday afternoon.

Later,
Bill

Lovely Bill.

Geoff

Thank you all. The rhododendrons in bloom make that shot. I have a couple raised beds to place yet and then I’ll have some photos. Gotta clean up the area too.

A good Saturday to all…..our snorkels are working good. We have had nearly 8″ of rain in the last 2 days and 5″ on Wednesday Out in the suburbs east of town, they got 10″ Thursday night alone. A low pressure ridge has been stalled over Memphis since Wednesday and the counter clock wise rotation has been sucking tons of moisture out of the Gulf. According to the weather prognosticators it’s moved slightly SE of us for today and we’ll still get some wrapped around scattered showers, but nothing like Wednesday and Thursday…….the records for creek and river flood levels were being broke all over the place and since everything flows into the Mississippi which is already at high flood levels from everything coming out of the mid-west there’s no place for this amount of rain to go……Places that haven’t flooded in 200 years experienced flash flooding, apartment complexes, car dealer lots, homes…..my BIL’s house that he sold last year had almost 2′ of water in the ground floor and lost part of it’s driveway. It’s a good thing all this climate change stuff is a hoax…..right?

Our house is high and dry (my FFE is almost 34″ above grade) but Thursday morning we woke up to a little more than 3-4″ of water flowing through our back yard, so it’ll be days before anything will get done in the yard for sure.

Lisa is improving, moving about better, just has to be careful how she turns or bends over…..she tends to forget about it and every once in while I’ll hear her scream as she moved the wrong way and her hip lets her know about it….

Bill….what a fantastic view. Looking forward to your photos. Loved the Turkey.

Sharon…. the rose turned out beautifully….great job.

Lynn….you have to be more careful on those steps dear. Glad you weren’t seriously injured.

JJ…form over function or function over form…that’s the unending great debate in Architecture, I think your arm warmers fall into the category….they look lovely to me.

Nancy…. the mini cafe looks fantastic…..

Well….the early dawn is reveling more grey overcast clouds and the cats are bugging me to put the food out so they can get on with their rounds outside…..Greetings to all here and those to come. BBL…need to make a run to Home Depot this morning for a new ceiling fan, ours apparently died during the night.

Be good, do good….
Steve.
