A Welcomed Rain

It finally rained last night. We may have gotten about an inch of rain, and that was good. I don't believe that it had rained this month or at least it hasn't to amount to anything. We have been watering the garden for two or three weeks at least.
I keep seeing plants that I would like to have in the garden, but we are about to go on a two-week trip and I don't want to set anything out at this time.

A Good Weekend


We spent the weekend in the Mena/Rich Mountain area. Carolyn and her folks were going to their place on Rich Mountain and since we had not been there recently we decided to visit them there. We drove over from Forrest City on Saturday as they drove from Irving , TX. Had a nice visit with them. Carolyn treated us to breakfast at the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge on Sunday morning. Then we had Chinese food in Mena for supper that evening.

Nice Spring Days

The weather has been nice the last few days, the temperatures have been more normal than they were earlier. It's still gets hot enough to avoid any yard work in the middle of the day. I can find plenty of things to do during the warmer parts of the day, and then get some yard work done between 6 and 8 p.m.
