THUNDER SHOWERY MORNING
Posted: Tue May 29, 2012 5:49 amGOOD MORNING TO ALL!
A rather wild thunderstorm woke me, Molly, and Dinah up this morning at about 4:45, and we have all been awake since. There is a break in the storms now, so I will do my daily entry while I can. I had to reset my WiFi inside, but it is up and running again now.
The kids have all gone up to Mandy's and Joe's, and will be back either tomorrow or Thursday so someone can take the kids to the airport on Friday morning for their flight home to FL. I have the day to decide which area of the house I will begin to sort through, bin up, and label for whatever. I believe it will be the living room and the bookshelves filled with dusty books that Mandy and her asthma cannot deal with. I have many very old books, some first editions and rare, along with a ton of old 78 rpm records, some signed by famous people like Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, and more. I will need to find an avid collector of such items, and will keep several of the old books I still love to look through.
I caught one mouse last night in my tin cat live mouse trap I set on the kitchen counter, baited with peanut butter. I will need to take him a long way down the road and across the brook to let him go this morning. How many more there are remains to be seen.
My leanto also needs its annual vacuuming and cleaning and sorting, but I will wait for a nice day to tackle that. It looks as if the blueberries were not in bloom during the late killing frosts, which is a good thing. I will wait to mow the big field with the brush hog until the picking season is over.
I also need to defrost my big chest freezer in the cellar that Mandy has cleared of old foods. And look for a deal on a clothes washing machine somewhere. At least the new/used refrigerator is doing very nicely.
I hope all on the roads keep a wary eye to the skies as many storms seem to be crossing all parts of the country. May we all see at least some sushine today. That fire in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is still raging, I heard this morning. I hope some rain with no lightning falls torrentially on that. Beryl seems to have made an impact on northern FL, although it appears to have missed Alice's Pan Handle area. Route 95 noth will be no good for driving for today.
Sky is getting black again right now, so I will sign off and hunker down. Later...
