worked for quite a while in the garden this morning… had a lovely time… got the last of the purchased plants into pots… pulled some weeds, although it is really hard to tell…

two more pots planted…

tidied the bed beside the garage and got a pump going in that pond… hopefully that will help with the mosquitoes…

pond and bench…

then the skies opened and it poured rain for quite a while… for some reason, I went downstairs to check for water and found some about two feet from the new carpet…

put towels down and stopped it… it was coming in from the back corner, likely from under the air conditioner outside… kept changing towels and ringing them out and eventually the rain stopped and the water dried up…  since then it started to rain a couple of times, but it was lighter and nothing seems to be coming in…

Jeff stopped by to pick up potato salad and spinach dip that I had made for the 8 year old’s birthday party, which I decided to miss, just to be sure nothing else leaked…

have been downstairs at least twenty times to check… washed and dried the towels so they will be ready if needed again… hope to sleep through the night, although I might just put some towels down for safety…

can you believe it…
