Our original plans for the weekend were to spend lots of time in the garden. We need to pull out our annuals in the front beds and prep our veggie boxes for winter vegetables. We woke up on Friday to pouring rain. It dumped on us Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Parts of the yard got quite flooded. Thankfully the rain is almost over today. I guess we were getting some rain bands from one of the hurricanes. I was also pretty glad to not be outside because the mosquitos have kicked back up again. The little time that I have spent outside has yielded at least 10 bites and swollen spots on my arms and legs.
We filled the weekend with indoor projects. The couch got a good vacuuming. I worked on steam cleaning some spots on the carpet, and started rebuilding some window woodwork destroyed by a previous resident dog. James finished his project of fixing all the blinds and some of them even got a good scrubbing. We are getting so close to being able to check a few more projects off of our never-ending home to do list! I love it.
I got to spend lots of time in the office sorting and organizing boxes. James helped me go through a few boxes and we are making more progress in making it an efficient space with room for both of us to work, a guest bed, and storage.
Sunday morning I yelled for James when I saw the dogs stalking a hummingbird that lost its way and got stuck in our screened-in porch. My attempts to help it were futile when it buzzed its wings any time I came anywhere near it. James was more patient and was able to guide it back out into the rain where it joined its other friends in our tree.
Meeting packed my Sunday. It was ward conference and so I was in and out of the house from 9am- 5pm. We finished the weekend off with grilling steaks at the edge of the garage to stay out of the wind and rain.
Glad to hear your rain has finally stopped. We had a huge storm here on Thursday late afternoon/early evening. Tons of rain, thunder and lightning. It finally stopped and the school was able to have their football game that night!
