Much needed rain ................

We finally got a little rain last night. It had been 3 weeks since the last rain, and it was getting rather dry. The plants in my garden look like they grew several inches overnight. I've been watering the garden every day, but that just keeps the plants alive. Nothing helps like a good soaking rain. I'll take some pictures this weekend so you can see how big the squash have gotten.

Mazie Grace has been spending almost all her time in the house. Evidently she has a new appreciation for home. Hopefully she won't be going on any more adventures.

My Dad's daytime aide quit Monday, so he has had someone new with him this week. That means that I've had to spend more time at his house the last few days, getting the new aide adjusted.

Today was Hubbie's last day at work. His official retirement date is May 15th, but he is taking off tomorrow as a vacation day. Before he left work this afternoon, he took off his lineman's boots and tossed them and his lunch box in the dumpster. He is very happy to become a retiree. It's going to be an adjustment for both of us, but I think it will be a positive change.
