And it is still raining!! 03-21-23

Yep, we are having one of the wettest winter/spring in a very long time.  This morning  when it was time to drive down to Dana Point for the meeting I just couldn't face it and called to let them know I wasn't coming.   I hate  to miss a  Board Meeting because I am so nosy and want to know what is going on.   I think it was a wise decision to stay home and make some progress on getting ready to leave on Thursday.  Not that I accomplished a lot, but some anyway.  It rained off and on all day.  A clearing spot about 10am so we did our walk and again around 7pm for the evening walk.  Had a few drops, but the wind was cold and pushed us along to get home and get warm.  

Water collects in this area adjacent to the front porch  even though we put in special drainage when we first moved in over 30 years ago.   This is at 10am.

 

When we went out to walk about 7pm it was almost lapping onto the porch, which is only a couple inches high.  The soil is so saturated it can't absorb very quickly.  

This is KoKo's favorite position, I think.  I had done some surgery on Froggy and KoKo was protecting him from me.  He always licks Froggy extensively after I have been sewing on him.  Right now Froggy is in the washer so he will be all bright and clean to go to the KoKo keeper.  And KoKo will have a bath in the morning so he won't be a stinky dog.

Still Procrastinating!! 03-20-23

 

We walked in the rain again this morning.  But the weekend was quite nice.  The chalk painting the kids in the cul de sac did yesterday turned into a watercolor.  KoKo pays no attention.  

I did make some progress today, but seem to jump from one job to another and nothing is completed.  Had one very short conversation with a neighbor while walking, but it was just KoKo and me the rest of the time.  Still have bills to take care of tonight and put out my clothes to go to Surfside QGuild Board Meeting tomorrow.  I just remembered I will need to get gas, better get up half an hour earlier.  Don't seem to plan ahead well for anything these days.  I'll keep trying.

Procrastinating - as usual 03-18-23

I have yet to find a new gardener (mow and blow guy) so my yard is once again deep in weeds.  My good neighbor,Mark to the South, weed whacked front and back , but since we have had more rain and more lovely sunshine the weeds have taken advantage.  It will have to stay like this until after I return from Empty Spools. 

Looking north.

Looking south. 

 

I have made several lists and add to them each day, but I don't seem to make any progress to get packed.  I did the laundry this morning, picked up my glasses with the new lens (WOW, what a different that makes), went to Petsmart for KoKo supplies - even a new leash and collar.  Nothing like sending him to stay with someone else to notice how worn his accessories are.  Of course, he needed to stock up on treats also. 

Don't know if I will be blogging this coming week, I'll try, but not much to say except about getting ready to go. Rain is predicted for Thursday, my traveling day.  Groan, not fun on I-5 north.  Or south either!
