Well Wednesday started out rather nice with plenty of sunshine but it clouded over and we got a rain shower that didn't last long but enough to bring in the recently hung laundry drying on the clothesline, oh well whats new here is the weather can change on a moments notice. It stayed bright sunshine the rest of the day until The Ross Family arrived somewhere around 4'ish then it poured rain again. Rocky was so excited to see them and nearly broke everything in the house wagging his tail. What a joyful reunion for them as well as they all hugged and kissed him.
I did take Rocky on a hike up the back trail before breakfast and he got a good workout as he ran and sniffed at every bush and tree in the woods. He slept off and on the rest of the morning an afternoon on the back porch until his family arrived. I did my usual morning routines that include some quiet time after a breakfast of oatmeal. I did manage to resow some kale and Swiss chard seeds and saved a couple sweet onion seedlings which most had died for some reason. I have no idea why I'm having such a terrible time with growing onions here this past couple years. My garlic patch is doing fine despite it being in the same family, oh well.
I noticed I have a bloom on one of the Celebrity tomato plant I bought as only one of the ones I brought from Florida survived the trip and a small green jalapeno pepper is already set as well. The recently repotted lettuce seedlings are doing fine and as soon as Rocky leaves I'll be setting them in the ground. I'm not sure why the kale and Swiss chard never germinated either. The zinnias and marigolds are up in several of the flower beds and most all of the bedding flowers did well despite some rather large paw prints evident among them.
Well last night wasn't a good night for the FSU women's softball team despite taking an early lead. The rubber game will be played today to decide the championship. The Rays also lost last night to the Nats. We watched the games after a delicious supper of roast chicken, smashed tatters, frozen corn, fresh carrots and gravy and corn bread. What a feed. Tyler and Sam head off this morning (thur) to hike part of the Appalachian Trail near Mount Rodgers for 3 days and two nights. The sad thing is its raining rather steady here at the cabin most all night and now its looking an all day rain, LATER
