May 24: Mowing and Rain Don't Mix, but the Dandelions Love It!

Not a complain, just and observation.  We have had a lot of much needed rain.  I do not know if this is the right time for the farmers and their crops, but the dandelions are certainly turning the yards golden.  Kevin has even spoken of baling some of the grass down in the trees because the last rain storms chased him to the garage.  Today was supposed to be a non-rain day in the middle of a lot of rain.  Yesterday was beautiful, but we were at the hospital.  This morning was great, but he was at the hospital.  This afternoon he is out racing the clouds and hoping to at least take it down since bagging it would take far too long with the thunder we are hearing.  Memorial Day weekend is predicted to be very wet around here.

Yesterday, Dad had the generator replaced for his pacemaker.  After the surgery, he had to have the standard 12 hour antibiotic drip, so he could not come home until this morning.  Of course that really meant he could not come home until he saw his doctor, so he arrived home just after 12:00.  He is tired from being awakened and poked and prodded in the night, but the surgeon says he did well.  Could be a long few days as he mends.  I have work to do in the house, so I am here and ready if he needs me, but for him it will be the added discomfort.  Poor guy!

If a crazy moment several weeks ago we decided to have both a shop open house and a rummage sale during the Crooks Community Days next weekend. We are getting organized, but I am definitely not the queen of rummage sales.  Several neighbors, friends and sisters are contributing to it, so I will have some help there.  I vow that this will be the last on my watch!  The shop open house may be an even each year, but that will remain to be seen.  Guess we just don't know when to say, NO.

EVEN SO, Life is Good!
