We have been insanely lucky this softball season, tonight was the first game we had to play in the rain!
Being the good Girl Scout that I am, I was prepared with my rain jacket in my car.
Of course, since I did that and left my sunglasses behind, the sun came out and blinded me for the last inning or so...
And, since there was a beautiful rainbow right behind Dizzy while she was playing centerfield tonight, I didn't have my camera.
Ah well, Gramma was here to watch the game and since it rained in my old hometown tonight, I'm blaming her for bringing the rain with her this afternoon.
I'm off to babysit the Boss while he's at a conference the rest of this week. Well, maybe I'm off to enjoy a day of solitude while the Boss is in meetings all day. I'll take one for the team! Maybe I'll get creative and share some pictures while I'm away...A bit nervous for Gramma, who has to deal with one of my crazy schedule nights while we are gone.
It's only Bean at PT and then an hour later drivers ed, the girls have a banquet to celebrate their gymnastics season at the same time and I hope they all finish about the same time...Welcome to the reality of my life, I know many of you share the craziness! I do it and try to limit the trips out to eat, although one of our local fast food restaurants is doing $0.50 ice cream cones for the summer. I seem to stop there a lot...ICC in our house means we need an ice cream celebration. This may be for getting a hit in the softball game, surviving our first drive in drivers ed, just being cute, you get the picture. Doesn't take much to convince me to stop!
OK, squirrel moment, lost topic for most of the post...sorry!
Rain came today which is good, my garden (which had the sprinkler going on it for a few hours today...ah-hem girls may have forgotten to turn it off...and someone nearly forgot her softball mitt...) can always use the moisture and I think I have my drip system working correctly so my flower beds will not dry out while I'm gone.
The Boss and I figured out what we want to do with the front of our house...we talked of replacing the flower bed, expanding the deck and ignoring it. The area looks terrible and we decided that ignoring it was a bad idea, but I think we are going to replace the deck stairs and add a railing, put the pond I got several years ago for Mother's Day next to the railing and put a wider, wooden front stoop that will go down to paving stones next to the pond. This will not cover Bean's window and will get rid of the huge flower bed that takes way to much time to keep up. I'll add a few shrubs next to the deck and it should look amazing! Pictures will follow when we begin.
Until this weekend, unless I get bored on Thursday...
Be Happy, Be Healthy and Be sure to take a moment and play in the rain!
(I watched a preschooler dance in the rain and play in puddles today...it was very cute, except she was in a parking lot and her mommy didn't seem happy to put the dripping little imp into the car...:) )
