Our poor bush. We had a few rain storms go through the area last weekend and the beginning of the week. It all totally ""wooped the tar" out of our bush. It kind of reminds me of Dougal from "The Magic Roundabout". Now normally things would be back to normal within a couple of days but this time round we are going to have to do some serious trimming. This also impacted our grass cutting. Looks relatively okay in the picture but by Thursday it looked like a prairie in the making !!!!!!
So the Music City Marathon is almost over for another year. I cannot imagine what it must be like to run in 85 degree or hotter weather. I tried mowing our front yard and was pooped out after about 15 minutes!!!!!!!
John did his volunteering stints Thursday and Friday for the marathon set up. Takes a lot of people to put that together. Sad news for him was that he did not get the promotion at work he was after.
We also had our big day of service today. I was on the quilting committee and between our two buildings we put together about 60 quilts. I'm a firm believer in letting volunteers do the areas they are good at and will take any reasonable suggestions for improving things. So the ladies, gentlemen and kids picked the areas of quilting they wanted to do and had at it :) Makes things go a lot faster.
There was also a blood drive, emergency packages, visits to the elderly, some training for disaster mediction distribution. At the moment I don't remember what else was happening but the day was a success.
Juliet is due home today but her flight is delayed. Why am I not surprised :) Something to do with a stinky fish smell.
Elizabeth is on the move with one of her friends and starts spring term on Tuesday.
Kris and Nik enjoyed their part of the day of service. Kris is now waiting for the heat to lessen a bit so that we can go water the veggies.
