Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Do not snort the rock.

According to NPR, the first week of May here was the cloudiest on record, so if it felt dark and unrelenting, it was.

Yesterday I sat out on the patio, and also killed some vines, so I'm feeling much better.

Shit, one of my tires is going flat. I guess there's a field trip of indeterminate length to the tire place down the street today.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

sarameg, fyi, on the radio this morning they said it was 15 days of rain. sigh ... and my joints hurt too. I'm taking Claritin and using Flonase, so at least I'm not suffering the snotmonster, but I'm really, really tired of rain. And my towels never seem to dry.

There hasn't been a wetter spring since I moved here to Virginia, I don't think. Personally I love it, but I know it drives normal humans crazy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's beautiful here!! I kind of thought we'd never see the sun again.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It's been a fairly rainy spring here, which has been nice for my gardening efforts. The more the sky waters things, the less I have to.

It's pretty out today here, too. Maybe shading into hot later on, we'll see.

I have had such a relaxing morning so far! Didn't get out of bed until 6, had time to putter around before I had to leave for work and still got here a little early, did not even have trouble parking. This is the life.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Our fence is FINALLY being replaced. I'm slightly annoyed that I didn't know today was DAY 1 of the process - we had talked about the 2nd week of May but I didn't have a solid date. That aside, they had the old fence down in minutes. It sounds like they are digging out the old posts and prepping to set new ones.

The new fence will be 6' instead of 4', so we will lose a bit of our view of the greenspace, but will have more privacy.

The best part? Jack has not been barking at the guys at all. He woofed when they first arrived but had been calmly watching the progress since. Very happy with him. He seems to finally be growing up.

That all sounds great, Suzi. Well, knowing when they were starting would have been nice, but contractors are just kind of like that ime.
