It has been raining steadily here since late Tuesday night. We’ve been wanting some rain, hoping it would cool things off since the humidity is so bad. What we got was not what we wanted, however. My beloved Aunt Dimple’s funeral was yesterday, and it was raining heavily all morning and when we left for the funeral at 1:00 it was still coming down. I had talked to my Mom a few hours before and they were flooded in. They have three ways out, but the same creek flooded over the road in two places, one of them the bridge at the end of my parents driveway. They have an 18-acre farm and this creek runs along the edge of it. Along the last road, a little “stream” that is dried up 95% of the year had flooded the road and washed a deep rut. When we came home from the funeral we were shocked to discover that the bridge at my Mom’s had completely washed out. Before they left only one of the really large culverts had washed out. Now all three were gone. I hope it doesn’t take the county six months to fix it like it did another bridge. In the meantime my Mom will have to go out the longer way around.
I’ve been using the opportunity for cooler weather to curl up on my bed with my crocheting (and a cat or two lol). I have been finishing up my designs and working on a Round Ripple Tree Skirt using this free pattern on Crochetville. I will post photo’s later. I don’t have any taken and uploaded right now.
This is what happens when you fall down the stairs for the fourth time in six months, only this time you hit the wall at the bottom. My husband has forbidden me to come down the stairs in bare feet or slippers since every time I’ve fallen that’s what I’ve been wearing (or not). I listened for a day or two but it is too cold to go without slippers, and unlike his silly Northern butt, I am a hillbilly and I don’t wear shoes in the house!
Well, here it is, my super short hair. I’ve almost had it this short before, but it’s been a really long time ago. It is 1″ long, the shortest before this was 1.5″. My youngest daughter hates it, my oldest said “Holy crap!”, then gave her approval when I said I liked it. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have bangs, probably 20 years ago? My husband loves it, although if I decide to keep it this short for a while we will do some things differently next time. I don’t think about it until I look in the mirror, then yikes!
