It’s been raining now for 8 days and while that in no way approaches 40 days and 40 nights, there’s a lot of water. I had to dig ditches in our front garden yesterday along with big pits to funnel the water away from the houses foundation. So far we have no water in the basement but I haven’t been downstairs this morning. I’m praying we get through this storm, which should culminate with snow tomorrow, with no damage. If and when we get a new house, I’m going to really take a look at the drainage around the house.
Baseball of course was cancelled again and we’ll try again on Monday. We sure have a lot of games to make up.
Today we’re determined to clean up and out, the spare room, Ty’s room, the mud room and its closet. We look at houses everyday on the internet and decided we have to have at least an acre or two. The way the economy is going and all the food recalls (milk, chickens, eggs, etc.) we need a place where we can have a good garden and at least a few chickens. We’d like to have sort of a mini farm. Another requirement is that it’s not north facing, has at least 4000 square feet and it’d be great if it had some water. It’s fun to look but we still haven’t found anything that’s in our price range. We’ll keep looking though. My Mom’s would be perfect but I don’t think she wants us all moving in!
So that’s about it. Cleaning up inside and keeping the water away from the house outside.
Dixie and Annette, your Mothers Day cards will be late. Lori did get them last Tuesday but I somehow forgot to mail them as they’re still in the visor of my truck. She mentioned it last night or I’d probably wouldn’t have found them until Christmas, sorry!
Have a good day and we’ll talk tomorrow. God Bless.
