Well.... I don't have to worry about watering the garden for a while :)

We have had four days straight of being under a tornado watch, one thunderstorm after another, small hail, big lightning. I love storms and really enjoy it for a few hours, a day, maybe two but now I'm tired of it and need some sunshine and to be outside.

This morning I was so desperate to be outside I just took off in the rain (very light rain)waded through the puddles and went down to the creek. I haven't seen our little creek with that much water in it in a long time.. it was more like a rushing river than a tiny little creek, cool to watch but very detrimental to the landscape.

My garden has been under water several time and parts of it still are. I hope the tender little plants were rooted good enough to hang on.

Poor Zoe just doesn't understand why we can't go outside to play.. she's as much an outdoors girl as G'ma is and she's getting pretty cranky about it. (also like her G'ma)

In the meantime I have watched all of Season 2 of LOST, working on Season 3 and still loving it. I watched a few episodes of True Blood, it really is a bad show, stupid story, bad actors, and I had heard it had lots of sex in it but geez no one said it was straight up porn! that whole watching a train wreck feeling.

The only movie I've watched lately was Due Date and it was pretty good.

I'm reading a book that Christi loaned me. I don't even remember the name of it. It's a juvenile fantasy thing.. not a bad read but its hard for me to stay interested in it.

We had our Easter family dinner on Friday night because the guys worked Saturday and Sunday doing a community church service.

My old van still hasn't sold which really bums me out. I guess I will lower the price, again, and put it back up on the road. I really need for just the right person to come by and want it... need the money to pay on the new van!!

Hope all is well in your little corner of the world.

I sure hope you all dry out soon. I'm picturing you wading in your little creek, and it makes me smile.

We've had an unusual amount of thunder storms here as well. I love them too but like you I need the sunshine! I hope you get all of the sun you need to feel happy and to make your garden grow! I hope that ban sells soon to!

Yeah, True Blood is a bit much. I think they really like to push the envelope on HBO. The guy that plays Bill kills me. All their awful Southern accents kill me. :)

Glad you won't have to do too much watering...it will be time for that soon enough, eh?
