It was bound to happen.
Sooner or later, regardless of whether I talked about it or not, the rain had to cease, the skies had to clear, and the sun had to appear. At the very least, this is an argument for science and against superstition. But, let's not get too philosphical here.
It hasn't rained (much) lately, just a sprinkle now and then. Today, the sky is somewhat overcast with occasional sunshine bursting through. At least it's dry, although in places the ground is still quite soggy.
I mowed my lawn this morning and spent quite a little bit of time thinking about my landscape. This is radically different than north-central PA, where we put something in the ground and it grew, at least until the frost killed it. I'm starting to realize that I have to work within the local conditions in order to grow anything, so...instead of trying to kill all the shoots which pop up from the tree next to my deck, I'm allowing them to grow and pruning them off. Eventually, I will have a hedge. My cactus is growning quite well since I put some pine needle mulch around it. A flowering plant which Cindy put in a few years ago is growing dramatically, although it needs to have a trellis of some sort (I'm thinking of building a circular cage out of concrete wire 5' high and about 3' in diameter.) I planted a fern in one area which can't even grow grass. It's taken root and appears to be growing robustly. One unexpected benefit is that it also had a grape vine with it, which I'm training towards the tree next to it. I'm thinking about planting a Confederate Jasmine next to my deck which will (eventually) take over the lattice and create a privacy vine, not to mention that the flowers are beautiful.
Et cetera, et cetera...You get the point. Now, if I could figure out what to do with the dog poop!

Tuesday, May 26, 2009
There's a saying in a certain tribe in Africa (which one eludes my memory) that you don't talk about the elephant the night before you hunt him or his spirit will hear you talking and he will find a place to hide. Of course, this is all superstitious nonsense and certainly I don't believe it, but...I did mention that I saw the sun the other day.
Where is it now? I'll tell you, I don't know. Right now, looking out my office window I see gray, gloomy, overcast skies and raindrops pelting the puddles in the street and the forecast is more of the same for at least the next two or three days.
Dang that elephant anyway! Must have heard me coming.

Drying Out, Soggy Mess
I saw something strange yesterday. Cindy and I were going to the local Golden Corral (about 1/4 mile from my place) for breakfast, when I looked up in the sky and noticed a bright, white light. "What is that?", I said to her. "Oh, you silly", she said. "That's either the new street light they put in recently or else it's the space shuttle launching." "Can't be", I said. "The space shuttle is up babysitting Hubble and the street light was shot out two days ago." It took us a while before we figured out that it was (can you believe it?) the SUN!!! Hadn't seen it for so long, we'd forgotten what it looked like.
I promise you I am not making this up.
From my desk, I can look outside and see puddles in the street. It hasn't rained much here for two days now and it's slowing drying out, but there are still plenty of reminders that we've just been through a serious rain storm. I mowed my grass this morning, but thought at times I might have to get my boots on. It's starting to heat up now, so probably the lawn mower will be going a couple times a week for a while.
I "rescued" a cast-iron Kohler sink and faucet from one of my recent kitchen jobs and installed it in my kitchen yesterday. Much, much better than what was there before. Unfortunately, the dripping has transferred from the sky to a connection which I am going to have to take apart and redo. I put pipe dope on it, but it looks like I'm going to have to break out the thread tape.

A few things.....from Helen
Gonna send Scott and Allison the blog address....So maybe you can make them as authors, Phyl...What do you need to do that?
Also Phyl, take me off that notification of the email... I check the blog first then go in my email and then it just clogs up my email...My email is always running and running anyhow....Always seem to have too many unread messages....get stuff--I don't need or want....but just don't take the time to "unscribe". Same old Helen.....
Not much new or exciting...going yard sales tomorrow with Scott and Allison...will enjoy that, I'm sure...Gary likes to go if its for developments or stuff like that...but not individual ones so much...Brad always liked to go but lately seems to be getting bored with it...must be growing up...doesn't like to be with his mother too much...
Work is kinda slow right now...Not too much phone calls or claims to be done... Getting about 40-50 phone calls a day as opposed to 80-90.. My new boss is working out pretty good...Takes awhile to get used to someone new...Had a couple things this week that I really liked how she handled and one that I didn't but now I know what I have to do in the future so that the one I didn't like doesn't happen again... so that's good too... Sometimes you just have to look back and think....it's amazing how some people act and carry on.... My old boss (that basically got demoted) is really having a tough time with it...I'm sure it's not easy...but sometimes its hard to live with her like that too...It's kinda weird the things that you had to watch with the old boss, then the new boss she doesn't even worry about that stuff.... .It'll all work out in the wash, I'm sure....
Gary's work is really picking up.. We had a MAJOR hail storm here awhile ago...It really damaged some houses and roofs...They looked like they got shot up with buckshot...So that's been good for them...Kinda tied them over the last few months because one of the developments was one that they had done when the houses were new...But now that's about over but then with spring here then they are getting really busy again.. Hopefully they will just give Gary and his brother, Randy the overtime instead of hiring a new truck driver to keep up--which is what he said tonight...
Okay,rambling enough....if we get the flower pot done this weekend and the upside down tomatoes planted, then I'll upload some pictures...then we'll see whose laughing won't we??? love ya all--well maybe...

All Right, Enough, Already!
Let's get a little perspective here.
We have had a little rain here. Notice that I used the term little. In the area I live, we may have had as much as 12" over the last three to four days. Some areas just south of here have had as much as 20-24", with one town, Bunnell, receiving 26.7". (I can be in Bunnell in less than 1-1/2 hours.)
How do you comprehend that much water? From what I heard on the news tonight, this is more rain than has ever been recorded in that area for the month of May, more than has been recorded during many hurricanes at other times of the year. It would be nice if I could say it's over, but it appears that over the weekend, we're going to get some accumulation, probably not more than a few additional inches.
Y'know, if we could just get Al Gore to convince Congress to pass a law outlawing this sort of behavior, everything would be just great. You can be pretty certain, however, that both he and they will be somewhere else, at least until this storm has passed, at which time there will be plenty of opportunities for photo ops.
I have always been known for telling the truth. I speak respectfully.
Yeah, right!
P.S. I just heard on the news that if we received 10" of rain over the entire area of Duval County (think Tioga County), it would amount to 27,000 gallons per acre or approximately ten trillion gallons. Ten trillion gallons in one county. What a drop in the bucket!!

Water, Water, Everywhere
The rain has finally stopped for the most part. What a mess! Our street had a foot of water on it, my yard is a pond, retention ponds are full, ditches overflowing. You get the point.
Although the sky is still overcast, I did see small smidgens of sunlight yesterday. Just enough to let me know it's still there. I was beginning to wonder.

Good Weather for Ducks
We don't have to worry about wildfires anymore for a while.
It started raining here the other day and gradually built up into a real storm which, according to the local weather prophet, is going to be with us for at least two more days. It hasn't been non-stop, but we have gotten a lot of rain over the last 36 hours and tomorrow looks like more of the same. I'm not complaining, though, because we needed it and the temperature has been about twenty degrees below normal for this time of year. In fact, today it didn't get out of the 60's. Nice!! Way to go, Weather Maker!!
This is a massive storm and had everyone concerned about the possibility of it developing into a hurricane. It looks now as though that isn't going to happen, which is also good. That's one thing we don't need.
I don't mind rainstorms, as long as they come and go. I don't like gray, gloomy skies which hang over me and don't leave for days or weeks on end. I can remember winters in PA when (it seemed to me) that the sky would turn gray and stay that way for a month without the sun showing.
Ah, well. This too shall pass. And then it'll be too hot, too dry, too much grass to mow too many times, etc., etc., etc. Ad infinitum or at least until someone gets tired of listening and tells me to shut up. At which point, I'll change the subject and start talking about my lumbago.

It's the boring....Knauer"s
Not much too exciting going on here. Work, sleep, work, sleep..that's the story of our life...
Today is Scott's Birthday... It's hard to believe he is 23 yrs old..Wasn't that long ago that he was just a little baby or at least a little boy!! I know, I know...I am getting old... They went to Williamsburg to celebrate their anniversary--it was last Sunday.. They stayed here last weekend cuz of Mother's Day (isn't that nice of them??) They came on Sunday, and we had chicken, (Walmart was out of ribs--my favorite meal!!). Then they went home to eat to eat their top of cake--Gary said ours wasn't too good, when we ate ours(YEARS ago---I can't even remember...
Then we played Shanghi--a card game we played years ago--remember Beth, Bob and Rose? We were going to play Shanghi at the reunion but forgot about it, I guess... Maybe this year....It was fun..
When Rose was down to Beth's she was talking about making this planter... You take a big planter on the bottem, Put a pipe or rebar in it, then put a flower pot with the hole part of the way up (fasten with waterpipe clamp(?)) and let the pot tip over to the side, you plant your flower in it tipped over. Then you keep going til the top... I was gonna do two for our patio this year but kinda forgot,, Then was at yard sale yesterday--saw some clay pots and thought oooooh, I can do that... Was anxious to try it...I said something to G about welding the rebar or pipe to a flat metal on the bottem, he said about making a concrete (after all he's a concrete man!) clump and putting the rebar in that...Not sure what we will do in the end... Let me know if you've seen any or if you did it, Rose..
I finished most of my mulch and planting of flowers yesterday... Keep seeing more flowers that I would love to plant... but it looks nice. Two years ago, I brought at a yard sale a lilac bush but Gary and I could never agree where we should plant it.. so it stayed in the flower bed, in the pot by the butterfly bush...Got roots and all coming out of the pot,, we finially agreed--and I planted it yesterday afternoon.... But made a little new bed so can plant more flowers in there too!!! Yippee!!!
Did you guys sign that thing for Laura? And send it out yet? What did you think?
Man I do ramble on... so sign off for now..love ya.

Florida, here I come!
Today, I leave for Florida for business with my company. Looking forward to it. I should learn a lot and the break from the office will be good. I'm going in this morning for a couple hours to orient a new Clinical Supervisor, then will have lunch with Ed, and then head to the airport.
Not sure if I've told you all or not, but we're going to build a one story house down on the farm next to the old farmhouse. Ed really likes it down there and the isolation up here doesn't help his depression. We decided to build one story with NO steps anywhere (hopefully) except into the basement. It will have an attached two car garage that we actually park our vehicles in! Digging should start this weekend with our basement walls coming next Thursday. So, I'll miss all of that being in Florida, but it will give Ed something to concentrate on while I'm gone and that's a good thing!

Wishing for the Weekend, Last Weekend.
Went to Little Talbot Island State Park last Friday afternoon and settled down for a nice, relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, it had to end, so Sunday afternoon I came home. (Cindy left Sunday morning. Said it was getting too hot.)
It was great! No kids, no dog, no work (except what I had to do around the camp, which doesn't really count), no TV (unless you count the neighbors who hauled their set and satellite in), no phone, etc. Actually, my cell did ring twice, but it was a friend of mine (and his woman) who spent part of the day with us on Saturday. He was looking for directions.
My manager at work loaned me his kayak, so Sunday morning I popped it in the river as the tide was coming in and went upstream about three or four miles. Got to a point where it was difficult to tell the main channel from the side streams, so I spent about an hour just sitting in the marsh, then rowed back to the camp. The fly in the ointment was the traffic going by on A1A, a major road. Noisy and non-stop. Couldn't get far enough away to lose it.
Weather was warm and dry. Mosquitos not too bad. Coons on the prowl as soon as it got dark. Comfortable air mattress, hot showers, vodka screwdrivers, and good company. All in all, I'd say it was worth it. In fact, I think I'll reserve Ol' #39 for a long weekend in late October and maybe do a stint in November as well.
P.S. I did a pencil sketch of my tent Sunday while I was waiting until I had to start packing. Don't have a scanner on my computer, don't know how to operate Cindy's. I'll try to get her to work it in for you to see.

Hello everybody. How is it going just got done putting mulch around my fish pond, I got the cedar kind. Looks nice. Planted two upside down tomatoes, hopefully they will grow for me. All the early stuff in the garden is up except my potatoes. Planning on planting the rest of the seeds this next week and the plants at the end of the month. I have around 600 plants started in my green house. It works so nice. Hope you all have a great week. Love you all, Rose

State of Affairs
I had not heard anything at all concerning the settlement of Laura's trust fund for a long time, so last night I e-mailed her attorney. I received an answer today. Here is the gist of it.
The person who had been handling the case left the office for another career. The person it was handed over to is new and his wife just had a baby. Also, there is apparently a tremendous amount of legal work to be done. Consequently, it's not moving very fast, if at all.
However, I was assured that they would get back to work on it and wrap it up as soon as possible. I don't doubt that, so I wrote back and requested a regular updating, at least once a month if it wasn't too much trouble. That's reasonable, don't you think?
At any rate, I am going to stay on top of this until we see it through to the end. I'll let you know when I hear anything.

The Knauers
Not too much or exciting going on here. Last weekend it was supposed to rain most of the weekend but it was pretty nice on Saturday. So we got most of our flower beds cleaned, edged, planted, and mulched... Gary helped with mulching---but of course he likes to do it different than me...And we had to come to terms as to which way to do it so both of us were happy....As he said---we are both "bull-headed"!!! Humph!! Not me!! Anyways--got most of it done but then went and brought more flowers so.....was gonna plant them on Sunday(yeah I know about the Sabbath and all...) but....it rained...so they were out in the rain all that time..Brought them in the garage this morning---they are really soaked and sodden!! Mostly petunias, few marigolds, lots of allysum and some snap dragons.
Rose, we did get that stuff to clear the fish pond. The lady at Petsmart talked him into getting something to use first, and then use those Jungle buttons. The first stuff was a liquid stuff--he's used it before and it does help clear it up but the "jungle" button really made it much clearer--maybe the other stuff started it.. He got a big pack--used two buttons and I think it has 10 or 12 in it. Says you should use every two weeks..Not sure if it was really the Jungle brand though...I'll have to ask him.
Brad has his knee immobilizer off now. Went back to the orthopedic last week and so he said to take it off on past Monday and then he starts 4 weeks of Physical Therapy.. Oh fun... But you can really see where his muscles have atophied so....he needs (or is it knees???) it...haha... Said he did ok at school except couldn't really go down stairs good--hurt too much..so guess it's time for the PT.
oh well, that's all for now...see ya..

Said he did ok at school except couldn't really go down stairs good--hurt too much..so guess it's time for the PT.
oh well, that's all for now...see ya..
