Well it poured buckets to start the day after a deluge the evening before and the drive way was rutted once again for two days in a row. After the kids left for Kansas around 7'ish I did my morning routines and then wondered around outside checking on the garden damage from the heavy down pours. Well several onion sets were washed completely out of the ground and down below in the constant now wet ditch with water draining from the top of the mountain and then two lettuce seedlings were washed out from the run off through the garden beds. I believe most of the recently sowed seeds in the circle bed also were washed away and down the driveway, oh well such is mountain living but its oh so worth it.
I did my quiet moments to honor my lord, JESUS and then to lift up several for comfort and healing. All are holding as is our mountain mom, Helen who is in a senior facility down off the mountain. Nancy is still having her moments but her anxiety is probably her biggest enemy as she can not stand to be not healed immediately and worries herself with that BP cuff and a script that drops the pressure but makes her feel stiff or tightness in the chest, oh well.
Rocky the huge bull mastiff is doing O.K. as he now knows the routines of being here and his family gone for a couple of weeks. He ate his food which is an issue at home in Florida as he did great yesterday, but does like to wonder into the woods where he does his business which is a plus for us. He had a hard head at times and does not like to be called from his wondering. He is rather pleasant for a huge animal and the grands just love him as do we. He is a snorer like Nancy so at times I'm awakened in the middle of the night with both of them snoring, oh well.
After lunch I headed down the driveway to hand rake over some of the ruts caused by the storm run off which has moved lots of the gravel from the driveway down to the foot of the hill. Neighbor Gerald with his tractor usually keeps the drive scrapped with his tractor and I use to use his old tractor to help when he wasn't around, but he hasn't offered me to use his new one, so I do what I can by hand with a rake. Any how its passable for now but will need a scraping to move the gravel back up the hill.
Not much else is going on as we enjoy the ambiance of clean fresh air and cold water from the well. I did wash a couple loads of laundry as Nancy has issues now with the stairs. I didn't do much on this Memorial Day except watch lots of videos and then we played cards after supper, each winning one game apiece until nearly 10:30. After a shower it was horizontal lab for me, LATER
