Rain

   Before the rain had hit sometime about Tuesday, we had not seen much rain for quite some time.  The grass was dry, the woods were dry and being in NH, that is never a good thing; we have a lot of woods!  There had been weeks of high fire alert warnings up.  So, when it started to rain, it was great.  My husband was able to get the garden tilled right before to loosen the soil one more time, he was able to get tick killing seed on the ground to get worked in by the rain, flowers not yet planted were being quenched.  It's still raining now three days later and forecasted to for another three.

  While we appreciate the gift of rain, it's putting a bit of a damper on quite a few things around here.

• The kids are going stir crazy!

• My husband is not looking forward to having to cut the grass for the third time in two weeks!

• I have still not been able to plant my vegetable garden! (and can I just add it's supposed to be 40 one night next week!)

• My chicken coop.....my chickens will be a whole seperate post since this is our first time having chicks and has been a great learning experience, not to mention so much fun!  However, for many reasons (which I will delve into in the other post as well) we got a pre-fab coop.  I went out the other day to do a full clean-out and found the corner areas had leaked water into the coop and nesting box areas overnight during a huge thunderstorm!  Since then the coop and nesting box section have been covered with a tarp. 

Everyday certainly IS an adventure.....what have yours been this week?
