Rain, boring stuff, more rain...

Raining again. 

At least there's evidence that my little bean plants are growing-- I saw little nubs yesterday! And the forecast for tomorrow is not so dire, and that will be helpful. We still have the shrubs to put in. And G has some repairs to make on the outside water line. That requires getting under the deck to cut and splice line-- dirty and spidery work. Bleah. Without it, we will not have any water source for gardens or the pool.

Ah, the pool. If the weather ever improves, right? My goal had been to put it up mid-May to let it warm up and be ready to use. Yep. We've had snow, and incessant rain. Maybe by mid-June at this rate. No rush, though, if the water is still broken.

Today, it's errands and computer work. And some laundry. Boring, perhaps. But satisfying, when it's all done. I've got to figure out dinner-- G doesn't want to go out, so that means I'll have to get creative. Probably something chicken.

And tonight is Lisbon's prom, and unfortunately, rain will really make photos a challenge. They are having it in Sugar Hill at the same inn that Meg's class did, wayyyy back in 2009. It's a pretty venue, nice views-- maybe the rain will hold off for a little later on? The lupines are starting to bloom, and that would be very nice for any outdoor photos. I wish them a fun evening. I'm sure I'll see a few photos later on.

For the moment, though, I'm not moving too fast. I'm really tired, and it's likely part the weather and partly the fact that we are in the final push at school. It's been a very busy semester, and I'm feeling it. What I would have loved is to sit on the deck in sunshine with a cup of coffee, to just breathe a little. Instead, it's raining. I'll make the best of it.

You have a good day. Stay well,
