Our weekend was mostly soggy wet, with enough breaks yesterday that I got most of the cat yard weed eated down. The grass was very wet however underneath. I chopped it down once before, the last break from rain and it was wet then. Same thing this time.
It has been difficult this year to get any days dry enough to mow the lawn, front and back, or weed eat the cat yard.
Today again its icky out this morning but is supposed to dry out finally by late this afternoon and we could have three days without rain. Three days without rain right now seems like heaven.
I'm sure to others, in other areas, three days WITH rain might sound good.
I did a lot of work yesterday around the house and yard. What else you going to do with gas prices so high you have to trade a kidney for a gallon of gas practically. Now the city is announcing increases in water, sewer bills. I emailed the city council, asking them please don't do that to us, but fat difference that will make---none.
We don't have any idea when this terrible inflation will end. I mean, will gas prices go up so far we can't drive at all. Then what? How to even get groceries. Spend all day walking to the store and back? Might come to that. I'll need to get a wagon to pull though, for the groceries. But that's if the grocery store would even have anything to sell, if the gas is too high for the truck drivers to afford. So then maybe the price of groceries would be too high to afford also if anything did make it to the store. I guess then we have to eat each other, lol.
Pretty crazy times.

| Bleeding Hearts are lovely |
Then there are the Calla Lilies, providing daytime nap space to earwigs.
I'm weathering inflation well so far. I'm not going anywhere, except to the store now and then. The weather is perfect for not going anywhere, lol. Rain, rain and more rain. I make a pot of lentil soup with vegees every week and eat it all week. It's so delicious I can't wait for lunch, in fact.
Earwigs like Calla Lilies over here too.
ReplyDeleteYour bleeding hearts are lovely.
And your lentil soup sounds both economical and GOOD.
Grey days here too. With wind from the snow.
Do they just sleep in the calla blossoms, or do they eat the lily leaves? Here they don't seem to eat the leaves, just nap in the blossoms.
DeleteI did not know you could grow calla lilies in your yard. They starred in my wedding bouquet and played a minor theme throughout. The small affair remains a favorite day of mine and I'm always happy for any reminder. :) But earwigs creep me out. They hide in my yucca blooms and scatter when I cut the stalks down. Ugh! lol
ReplyDeleteGigi, your bleeding hearts, and those rain spotted ferns are gorgeous. Nice photography. ~hugs~ Best wishes during this uncertain future.
Thanks Darla. I don't know where the calla's came from. I can't recall but likely a friend handed me bulbs or a young plant at some point. I don't like earwigs either. They're creepy.
DeleteYes. ~shudder~ Not like Rosie the jumping spider. lol Thanks for that, by the way!
DeleteInflation sucks. Hopefully things will even out sooner rather than later. I'm sending you dry thoughts from SoCal.
ReplyDeleteYes it does suck big time. Thanks on the dry wishes. We need some sun.
DeleteI love bleeding hearts. We had a huge plant of them at our old house, but don't have any here. Gas prices just took a big jump over weekend. I don't know if that was because of current supply problems because of the Ukraine war, or it was the normal summer jump that happens every summer. I hope your three days of promised dry weather materialize.
ReplyDeleteWe've never had anything this high before in gas prices so its not the "normal" summer price increase. I am afraid to look to see what they might be today.
