Here's one of the red poppies up close and personal. They're so gorgeous.

Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - We had two days of perfect, summer weather -- meaning that the temperature was between 78 and 82 degrees. woo hoo!! Bob took off from work yesterday and played golf because you know what they say -- Play Golf While the Sun Shines.

Because of all the rain we've been having, the grass has been growing like a weed. Yesterday, Juanita Querida got quite a workout. It might be time to change her oil but not today since it's going to RAIN later this afternoon, it's going to rain tonight, tomorrow, the next day......

This is the weirdest, coldest, ugliest, nastiest, rudest, COLDEST, wettest, worst spring we've EVER had. Although I will have to say that the grass is gorgeous and green -- the flowers and shrubs have exploded in a growing frenzy. I'm making plans (in my mind, right now) to completely get rid of the overgrown garden because it's so full of weeds and I'm not sure who or WHAT is living in there?!

This is definitely a job for real lawn care professionals -- the ones who have a chipper/chopper/shredder and maybe even a machete. Sad to say, it has to go sooner rather than later. That is, if it EVER STOPS RAINING. Yes, I am shouting. There's only so much a person can do in two day spurts. Two nice days, rain for five days, two nice days, rain for six days. It's so annoying.

Yesterday, I was so happy because it was warm and sunny. It was wonderful. Today, overcast, cold and downright depressing. Enough of the whining -- I've got to go and take care of some business. Plus, I want to check the weather page. see ya later, djb
