What? More Rain Overnight!
Sure enough, there was another 2/10ths in the gauge this morning. Dennis was tickled that he had mowed yesterday. Dennis was very tempted to wander over to the new sewn area of the backyard. When Kevin tilled there were some perennial Allium bulbs
that got scattered. The Allium is from the family of onions. Their stalks can grow as high as four feet tall with a globe of tiny blossoms. They are used in dried flower arrangements. I can tell you Dennis steered clear of the newly sewn area and we will need to be patient if the Allium do indeed come into bloom. I can share that the older the bulbs get they are not quite so enthused to bloom, much like some varieties of tulips.
This was the day that the patio porch did get all the windows washed. There were kitty nose prints on the inside too numerous to count. On the outside were a few deer nose prints. As we look out the bathroom window, we will now be able to see through the slider doors to make sure the water pump is operational in the Kio pond. When the windows are clean there is no enjoyment greater than taking in the back part of the acre.
To top it off, what good are clean windows if the rest of the porch’s items haven’t been given a kiss with the dust Swiffer and also the vacuum on the carpet. Shortly after the vacuum was hung up Dennis made a big deal of crossing the patio towards the alley. Shoulders slumped and partly dragging his jacket on the patio. His feather filled black jacket was heading for the garbage. It had suffered several holes from cigarettes. I know the cats like to sit on Dennis’ lap and every once in awhile a claw would catch just right. Something sharp had caught the left hand sleeve and it had been adorned with silver duct tape for most of this last late winter. Early next fall we have to keep an eye out in Sam’s Club for a replacement. They usually have an assortment for $19.99. I myself will be looking for one as they slip on so easily over any type of long sleeve shirt.
We toddled off to the Home Town Cafe. They have the best soup and any type of sandwich to go with it. We are calling it a day.
