I had to laugh. Jilda and I got up and got at it fairly early. I'd bought some more tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and five pounds of bermuda grass seed.
We finally got the tractor fixed, and the sun gods had smiled on us. Our nephew Haven finally managed to level our back yard enough so that I could plant grass.
After the storms and field line work, the back yard has been a muddy mess, but things were looking up.
Jilda and I planted the plants, she sowed two rows of flowers, I reseeded the back yard, and we kicked back on the deck mid afternoon to enjoy a glass of lemonade.
As we sat there, we heard something off in the distance. Mid swallow, Jilda said, "Is that thunder?" We hadn't checked the weather radar.
When we did, green globs were headed in our direction. As it turns out we got five inches of rain within about eight hours. We should have put lifejackets on the plants we planted.
I'm sure the grass seed is close to Mobile, Alabama by now. Maybe one day our yard will be back to normal.

ReplyDeleteWe had a thunderstorm last night, too. I don't think I'll ever have grass in my backyard.
