Rain - But the drought is not over

We are getting wonderful rain, perhaps too much in some spots.  Most people I know are enjoying the rain and slowing down when they are driving.  I'm surprised there aren't more accidents because the oil has had a chance to build up on the pavement for years.  When it rains it is as slick as ice in some spots.   And then there are the weeds.  Like magic they come up in the bare ground where nothing has grown for four years.  I also have a highway of mushrooms across my barren backyard.   KoKo hasn't gotten used to the rain.  When he goes out he will stop and look up at the sky with a sort of frown. When he has done his business he runs back to the house to shake off all those nasty raindrops.  We have been fortunate that it has not usually been raining at our walking times, I still don't have a jacket and wear my layers to keep warm.  But they won't keep me dry, that requires an umbrella.

All is well - don't worry! 01-06-17

Goshl I didn't realize it has been so many days since I have blogged - sorry about that.  The main problem is that since I have been homebound I don't have much to say.  Complaining about being sick doesn't cut it and there is just so much that can be said about the KoKo dog.  I am MUCH better and trying to get my strength back from not doing much for two months.  KoKo and I do manage to walk for 20 minutes morning and evening - he drags me around and I wait for him to do his business. 

It is interesting to read about others Christmas and New Year's, but I am happy to just stay home and pretend they are just everyday days!  Guess I am odd that way.  It would be different if I had family, but I don't and there is nothing to be done about that. 

I am in a quandary with Google about posting pictures.  They don't seem to want me to do it, but I keep trying.  Maybe by Sunday it will be okay.
