Coffee anyone ?

Oh, @Baymule, That will be an adventure! Can't believe you won't get at least one kid and one dog, just to keep you company!!! . I'm sure it will all work out.

I had rain in the forecast and sure did get it. Wow. So before, about 7, I went to neighbors to pick elderberry. They have a bush turned tree...don't want. Didn't know what it was, just nice white flowers. My 10' ladder still had me pulling limbs downward. Picked a 12x12x18 container full in less than 30 min. Wasn't hard when those pods covered you hand. About 3/4 thru picking berries off, I'm at 5#....about 6 qt. Twice this left to finish ripening! Talk about a motherload.

Their huge fig bush is now "mine" also. At least 50# will come off. We've had some perfect fruit weather this year, apparently. He says "you can take both trees home, if there's a way". . Know that I'm thinking about how.

Sorry...about duplicate pics. With storms here, little net and it froze up! My gauge says 3 1/4 inches today! All in about 2 hrs. It was pounding straight down. A lot of road flooding in town. Now -- news says more Tues night thru Sat this week. They expect another 3-4 inches my way during the week. As widespread as it looks, probably won't miss me. I don't want to complain but, I'd like to share this rain!!

Need to get a few bale's of hay -- this way too wet pasture is running thru them. It will help with digestion. Never a slack day, I swear. A definite tomorrow "DO!". Guess it's time for me to eat, come to think of it.

ETA...wrote this yesterday. It didn't post!

Us too.... We did sneak away Friday to the lake trip we take at DH's lake cottage. It was very nice. His aunt did most of the kitchen clean up and kids and I fished and fished, caught enough keepers that we fried them up Sunday afternoon and had more than enough for everyone. Kid's swam and we sat on the shore just doing nothing. It wasn't long enough but it did help. Got home yesterday afternoon... we'd left some hay on the fields as it got rained on Wednesday...... somehow it was dry and not moldy. So it's raked up and we'll bale tonight. DH started mowing the rest of the field too. Today DS and I'll ted what was cut last night, very thick!!! But it should have extra dry days this week if the weather apps are correct this week. Corn is ready.... need to get some more canned. Beans got all tough before we got the 2nd round... but we did get 20 qts the first picking. Got most the school books, need to get on that too.

Just woke up, raining here. On hold for trip, they might have a buyer for the car. I’ll go do chores in a little while, gotta have my coffee first. Then wait on a phone call to see if we are needed or not.

@Mini Horses day before yesterday we picked elderberries, I washed them and picked them off the stems. That took all day for not near as many as you got! Do you have a special speedy picking technique?

I dehydrated the berries, got 3 cups. I still have berries in the freezer from last year.

If my body decideds to be a brat one more time.... was about to go to bed around 11 last night after i did the house work (midwife coming over this morning) my stomach decide it was unhappy and i got sick and woke up multiple times feeling nausoues. Going to have some hot tea and a snack while i cook breakfast hopefully that will settle my stomach considering there was nothing in my stomach when i got sick i wouldnt be surprised if it helps.

They sold the car! Now we don’t have to drive all over Texas dragging a trailer. We’ll go in a few weeks after they move in, dragging a trailer. My sister has a riding lawnmower for them, we’ll pick it up and take it to them. That will be a much better trip.

Son in law will drive the UHaul, DD will drive the van full of kids and dogs, BJ will drive our truck and trailer with MG on the trailer and I'll drive their other car.

I missed the part about how you get your vehicle back from Odessa.

They sold the car! Now we don’t have to drive all over Texas dragging a trailer.

YAY!!!! No bone wearing trip for Bay and BJ

Sunny nice day, not as humid.... Sadly, @Mini Horses "hogged" all the rain... we got a sprinkle that wet the road.... nothing in the rain gauge....clouds all day Sun but nothing. Quick shower north, Sunday afternoon but not much at all. Chances again Tues thru Friday.... please.

@Baymule ; So glad that DD and family got things worked out a little easier....but that is really pushing the envelope to get things done for him to go to work. Life seems to be crazier and crazier....
