Gosh – it’s monsoon season (not Spring but monsoon!) here on top of my hill in Warrenton. I’m thinking about past postings about so much rain…………remember these?
We’ve had driving, pouring, heavy rain for two days so things are soggy (moldy?) here yet again……….but maybe this is a sign that Spring is truly coming because it’s not snow – it’s rain…..and this week is supposed to be a nice week with temperatures – higher than normal….that means maybe the sixties! There’s hope!
We had a weekend full of paperwork, realtors, phone calls, a stranger or two, and making boxes…….Dad got boxes from the store and they have to be taped up like Fort Knox to make them safe for transporting STUFF – and believe me – my parents have had 18 years in this house and some years BEFORE that, to gather lots of STUFF.
The highlight of my week will be tomorrow though with the good old reliable Tuesday Teaser. Will you be ready? Will you? You’d better make up your mind because it will be here in less than 24 hours!!
Try to have a rain-free or at least pain-free Monday………..that’s my plan…………..
Sammy the Almost Catfish (haha)
Sorry to hear you’re floating away. We generally start getting a lot of rain in June. I hope you get some sunshine and can be out on your green grass soon. I really miss grass in the winter. They should make an indoor park for people or cats like us 😀 it always feels good on the toesies xoxo K
