Premature

Last week we had very minimal rain which let the ground finally dry out after weeks of it being more or less a swamp.  I felt happy that another wet season was soon to be behind us.  I thought I had seen the last of the standing water for the year.  Unfortunately the last couple days some more intense rain brought standing water back to the landscape and a grimace to my face.

There has been one positive about the return of hard rain.  Evidently wherever the air leak in the inflatable spider is, it gets plugged up when it’s wet.  The spider has been fully inflated the last couple nights.

I have been building a checklist of things around the house outdoors I would like to get done once temperatures and humidity drop consistently.  The list is growing because I have been less willing to do certain things in oppressive heat unless absolutely forced to.
