Where to begin...guess that would be on Monday when the monsoon storm hit...
(starting from left to right) from my collection: Sherlock Holmes to Poirot then onto Perry Mason, the cable guy got it all patched up. What I discovered was that the DVD player and VCR in the bedroom are not working. So one of these days I will try to figure it out. This was Denny's expertise certainly not mine.
Then Wednesday late evening another thunder rain and lightening added to the mix! Oh and the winds causing a few things to toss around the garden. At least I had TV to keep me occupied.
Let's get to Thursday and the visit to the doctor...okay we can just go by this and only to say I will return in 10 days. There are 2 other doctor visits before then...not how I like to keep busy. I have tried to clean the garden a little because there was more damage to the garden during Wednesday nights storm...
One of 2 Fountain Grass plants that stood almost 5 feet was just so wind damaged it was into the pond and the other one by the back door also damaged
I managed to cut them down yesterday morning; with the humidity high, I was beat. Now if we have a few days without rain, the clippings will dry and I can bag them for trash. The garden and pond are a mess but current circumstances will not let me clean up.
I did manage to tat a few ornament covers but did not take pictures yet.
Yesterday I discovered a problem in the freezer.... an ice bag broke and the contents dripped into the ice maker. So, it is not safe to use the ice and I am back to using an ice tray. Do you have any idea how much ice I use in a day...it may be a good idea to buy bagged ice right now. I think when The Brother Alan arrives...I did mention he is coming with Lisa in September didn't I? we may be looking for a new refrigerator. Does it sound like I am living in a disaster? I feel like it for sure. So, as soon as this week is over I may raise a glass of wine or two in celebration ...until the next monsoon storm arrives. So now you know what has been happening in my corner of the desert. I think a cup of tea is in order as it is a bit too early for that wine....and back to watching tennis.
Glad you stopped by and thank you for the kind words and concern for my blogging absence.Thank you for your friendship.
Update: the mother Eva P is so delighted with the mail she had been receiving! She is sharing it with her visitors telling them all about the cards and notes. Thank you!
a crazy evening with winds around 45 mph and rain pouring down at times sideways and thunder. A garden disaster for sure. Have I mentioned that I do not like these storms? It seemed to go on forever. The high winds and poring rain ripped the gazebo tarp in half and debris flew everywhere.
Tuesday I lost cable and internet and it was not storm related. After I could not re-set and Cox could not, an appointment for Wednesday morning was set. In the meantime, I tried to figure what went wrong. I was watching a movie, then went out to speak with the landscapers and then ….that was it! One of the guys cut the cable line with the hedge trimmer....Finally after 26 hours of watching DVDs
