Weather Just Couldn't Make Up Its Mind

All day it threatened to rain, then the sun came out, threatened to rain, few drops, sun, more threatening, one minute drizzle, and more threatening.

I had planned to go boating, but don't particularly enjoy boating in the rain.

I did, however, get the yard cut, which really needed it again. That grass has been going bonkers this last month with all the rain. However, it hasn't rained for a week.

We finally did get a ten minute deluge, but that was it.

I did get some yard work done. I put out mulch, weeded, trimmed, and planted six perennials. We actually had a breeze off and on and that kept the mosquitoes mostly grounded, finally.

Our subdivision is called Orchard Bluff and that name actually applies since we are sitting on a bluff on one of the highest points in Illinois. We also had apple orchards along with cornfields at one time. You can still see many of the trees around the neighborhood. Our lot was out in the fields, though. We could just as easily named our subdivision Windy Acres as we really get some wind, just not lately. That coupled with an overabundance of 'skeeters is not a good combination.
