Rainy Saturday Morning, Something New!

Evie's Weedless Spring Garden

Listening to Only A Game, the best sports program on NPR, which is on Saturday mornings from 7:00 to 8:00.  It's wet outside though there are no huge puddles in our yard or road though flood warnings are out for the county, mostly along the Cassadaga River.  It is supposed to rain all weekend so it sounds good to stay inside, organize some of the bedrooms upstairs, perhaps scan some old photos, something I have been wanting to do, then work out at the Turner, perhaps go to library and get some more books, all perfect ideas for a rainy day at the lake.

Hit the North Harmony service station, dropping of the trash for the week, then went of to get more gravel for our driveway,  50 cents a bucket if you shovel it yourself.  Evie is ecstatic, as she loves to fill in the puddles left by the rain, the low spots so to speak.  I also filled up my car, the Pilot, for the first time in a few weeks; it cost my 70 bucks to fill it up, at 4.02 a gallon at Hogans.  It certainly makes you think more about where to drive, how much, especially making one trip shopping a week, if that's possible.  We always end up needing something 'else.'  I wonder how it will affect people's vacations this summer?  And boat traffic on the lake?  I assume their will be less traffic both at Pine Hill and the lake.  It's not going to stop us from visiting our kids....those trips are built into our retirement package!

We just walked the CI in a light rain; neither of us felt much like walking, or doing anything for that matter.  We stopped at the library, picked up a couple of books, and came home and watched a couple episodes of Damages, our favorite show right now.  We usually feel guilty watching TV during the day, other than my daily dose of Colbert and Stewart during lunch, but because of the rain, we decided to live a life of decadence and watch the tube on a Saturday afternoon.
