Update

It's been a while since I got on the internets and babbled, so here you go:

1 - Making blueberry muffins.  This is my third recipe - I really liked the first one, but failed to bookmark it, so am searching for a satisfactory replacement.  The batter looks good, though left me with about 2/3 of a muffin of leftover batter, which was odd.  We'll see how the muffins do.  There will be a fb pic I am sure.

2 - The tree which fell on my power lines has been removed, finally.  I have to say, that worked out better than I could have hoped - I got my dead tree taken down and stacked on the side of my yard, and nobody lost power, and I didn't have to pay $2000 to a tree-removal company.  All told, good end.

3 - It's a lovely grey day, and the weather is still quite cool.  This weekend is the official start of summer, but it hasn't really been hot yet at all.  My hydrangea out front is sad, though, because the blossoms are so heavy with rain, it's bent down to the ground.  And my tomato plants, while still alive, are unlikely to produce tomatoes.  But, they're alive!  I'll take the small victories.  Next year, I may plant lilies.

4 - I bought more lovely lights for the hall stairs, and also a solar powered blue globe light for the front walk.  It's not very bright, but it is very blue.  The hall lights are nice, but they are glass/fragile plastic, and I've already broken one.  That's fine, excpet the ferrets like to get to the low ones and poke them with their noses, which makes me nuts.  Don't electrocute yourself, Butters!

5 - I am going to try to go to a crafts fair today.  The muffins are in the oven, and there's a couple of things I need to do, but I hope to get out of here and check it out.  Not that I need to spend money, but if I do, it may as well go directly into the pocket of someone who lives in my neighborhood.

6 - Dude, it is pouring again.  I just went up to check on my newest discovered-and-patched roof hole, and it's not leaking - hooray!  I can enjoy the rain.
