Wow…it has rained like a LOT! 4-5 inches where I live. What does this mean in my little neck of the woods? Well, both culverts washed out. Yeah that was read correctly, BOTH of them. SO if it ever does stop raining and clear up, we have two culverts to fix now. The driveway is one long mud puddle, like a 1200 foot long mud puddle. The good news is, the pond is OVER full , the Spring is running like you would not believe, we have about 400 gallons or so of water for use, this rain will be good to start the summer out with next year and….I get to walk back and forth to and from the car on the other side of the property every day! It was cold this morning with ice all over the ground. As we started out walking to the car, the grass crunched under our feet and the moon was shining so brightly that we had no trouble seeing the details of ice crystals hanging from the small shrubs and plants along the way. It was beautiful.
I am thankful this is Friday. I am looking forward to this weekend so much. I did more crocheting last night. We had a long visit with Hazel as well, before we headed home. She asked me to take her to her sisters in Marietta, GA on the 20th so she can spend a week with her. She wants to be with her at Christmas. I told her I would be glad to do that so we made plans to leave out mid morning and have lunch along the way. Tomorrow Chris and I will head to Nashville in the early morning to get out shopping done. I would do it closer to home, but there is a certain thing I want to get for the person I have to buy for at work and the only place I can get it is at the Earthbound Store at Opry Mills. Sunday, I plan to just quilt, crochet and knit. I guess I will can some meat while I do all that as well.
Today begins the busy part of this month for me. Meetings the first of next week, reports to get out as the deadline draws near, 3 parties next week then off work until the 2nd. I also got a king size piece of foam mattress to wrap around Lakota since this is her annual “I think I will break a bone in my body” time. I figure if we wrap her in foam until New Years she will be fine for another year! (*only halfway kidding lol)
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. BE THANKFUL! Even if what you have is slowly dwindling away, be grateful you have something. So many have much less. These are hard times, but we will all make it through and become stronger with the experience.
