Got the Ark built yet? and other random thoughts on Wed and Thurs

  I mean, really? Have had record rain already and another monsoon coming our way these next two days! I'm certainly glad we are on high ground. Only about 1000' according to the altimeter in my truck. Doesn't matter, the house is higher than most everything nearby. lol In case you are wondering the reason my truck has an altimeter, the truck belonged to my father at one time and he added the altimeter for his travels in the mountains out west. We don't have mountains like that here but lots of hills, hollers and prairies. Have to cross at least two small prairies and a few hollers just to get to my sister's place. Too funny.
  Tim rode the bike again today to work! Good Lord! What is he thinking? Might should have taken my 4x4 instead. Speaking of bikes....he had plans to go trade the other bike for a truck but at the last minute before leaving on the road trip, he changed his mind. Just couldn't turn it loose. No surprise for me though as he'll never be ready to turn loose of the HD.
  I need to make a run to town to drop off eggs at the food bank. They are stacking up. Been two weeks since last donation. Hope they want them. They also need shampoo and bar soap. Last time I found some large shampoos on sale for .75 . Picked up a couple of those along with some soap. Will try that again.
    Got this from pinterest and thought my sister might like the idea to go with her fire pits. I like it. 

  

  It's now Thursday morning. Cleaned kitchen, watched the "sun" come up outside and had breakfast. I use the term sun lightly as it is cloudy and overcast with a slight sprinkle.   

 

Good morning, herd!

 Some tires that Tim brought home for the garden. The plan is for semi-instant raised beds. Can't see them very well at daybreak. I would like to make one of these one day :

 Isn't that neat? I really like pinterest. 

 Part of the back yard. Too wet to bring out the pillows that go in the chairs. Maybe sometime in August! 

  Tim was home by 1:30 yesterday. I love it when he gets to come home early but it sure hurts the paycheck. They have yet to allow the drivers to go any where near the bird flu cases and their deliveries are too near. So he is running heavy equipment at this time among other things to keep busy. On the plus side ....he mowed the back yard yesterday while it was not raining! We'll bale the front over the weekend. lol 

  Gotta get some work done. You all have a diamond day!
