Boy, is it raining

Boy, we are really having rain! The day started out warm and went to hot. We have been working outside the past week or so. Start of summer party here on Sunday and just the general get ready for outdoor living things that need to be done. Bern has been getting the fountain on the porch working. Today he located the leak that caused it to need water on a too regular basis. He already fixed the fountain we have in the garden by finding and purchasing a new pump. The other day I cleaned the middle deck. Thanks to a scrub brush and Murphy's soap I scrubbed the wood and then cleaned the furniture. I had planted flowers last week (I've given up on veggies) and so now the deck looks great!!!
######STORM NOTICE#### we just lost power for a second or so.. the generator didn't come on but the TV is really screwed up.....ahhhhh now it's on again. (THANK GOODNESS) the rain comes in spurts... started out with big drops... then a down pour. We shut the sliding glass doors as the rain was bouncing off the deck. Then it tapered off.... so OK... then it started again even harder. I shut the windows in the loft as it was bouncing off the roof and into the loft... and again shut the sliders. Wind was heavy but didn't seem like trees were coming down. Still, we keep an eye out... and it seems cooler which is nice. This spring we have been either HOT or COLD and there has been no warm...
And so back to dinner and I'll have to check it and do the salad. It was really a nice day. We are ready for summer... and so busy. Don't know how we found time to work.... (well, really, I know, I just never got the cleaning done)
Looking forward to the family on Sunday!!!!!!
