Sparklers For Summer

Can't wait for this fun shirt to arrive in my mailbox!
Ordered from Taylor Wolfe online shop, but it's now sold out.
When it comes to cute clothes you have to be quick on punching that ORDER BUTTON.

So what's going on other than the ordering of a shirt?

 The lettuce in the garden has gone all out NUTS, but we and the neighbors are all appreciating it.
It makes for wonderful dinners each evening.

 Rain Rain Rain Rain.
It's been a crazy month, and we have had so far had about 10 inches this month with one more day left on the calendar.

 It rained so hard that rock in our drainage areas was washed further down the gullies and even into the roadside ditches, leaving the drainage areas with nothing but dirt.

 My husband ordered a much larger size stone this time and has been busy rebuilding the wash/drainage areas to once again guide the deluges of rain that fall on the mountain property above us.  Our home is always high and dry due to good drainage, thanks to my husband's handiwork.

 You can see just how green and lush everything here is.
We do love the green, but enough is enough with the rainfall, Mother Nature.

 You can see the garden at the bottom of the hill in our backyard. 

 There he is hard at work placing the rock in the drainage area.

 Red Nose Day was last week, a project to help end world hunger for children.
Just with the purchase of a red nose at Walgreens you could help them out.
I think you can still purchase the nose and give money through June 2nd? 
Check Walgreen's website for the exact ending date or walk into a Walgreen's store and purchase a nose at their checkout counter.

 Of course with all of the rain has also come thunder which Izzy is not comfortable with.
It usually arrives before we can even get her into her Thunder Shirt, so she seeks out her daddy and is able to relax completely on his lap.
So cute!

Memorial Day came and went.  There, of course, was rain, but we all ate high and dry in the screened porch with even a little cool breeze to keep us comfortable.
The Kind of Grilling was happy to grill us up some red meat and asparagus, and we also had baked potatoes, baked beans, and for dessert lemon pop-ups.

He actually did more steaks than what you see here.  I took this photo the next day.  Since we had two more steaks that needed to be grilled, he got busy and we ended up having steaks two days in a row!!
I think I have had more than enough red meat for a couple of weeks.
Back to chicken and fish for this gal.

 

 

 Hope your month of May was perfect, and that you have great plans for the summer
Back soon!!
