Dog Days, II

We were up and at it fairly early today. Okay, I'll retract as I'm sure Himself will set the world straight, if I don't. I think I slept until 8:00 or so while Himself got up at 6 a.m. But, it didn't take me long to get started. So I worked on my garden and Himself held the porch down. I pulled garden fence posts and measured and straightened and rechecked for "square" and then Himself helped me reset two or three fence posts (pound in with a sledge hammer) as he told me I was a wimp. And I let him!

While I pulled and dug weeds out of the garden, Himself took breakfast duty even tho it was my turn so that by the time I was starving, there was bacon, eggs and toast and even fresh tomato! Bless his heart. Then, the day got so oppresive that we sat on the porch and watched while the sky closed in with thunderheads and the rumblings of thunder started off to the south. The clouds rolled through, the wind picked up and finally, while we waited, it just opened up and poured. Some lightening but more noise then anything -- and about 1/3 inch of rain but we enjoyed every drop of it.
