A nice rain

TERRY

I updated about Terry yesterday afternoon so I have no more news BUT.  I did talk to her after that.  She sounded better than she had sounded for some time.  She said her day was pretty good.  She talked about how her feet and legs do not do what she wants them to do.  She said she had a good day which is something she had not said for some time.  She was not down at all when I said I had good news in that she could stay in acute rehab for 2 more weeks.  I thought to myself, just after I said that, maybe I should not have shared that as she has been in for 76 days.  I THINK IF THAT HAD BEEN ME I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO POSITIVE!  I expect to talk to the Dr. today.  

I am thinking Grandpa has two budding woodworkers on his hands.  Here are Benedict, left, and Jude, right, taking their projects very seriously yesterday afternoon.  No worries about safety.  Grandpa operated the table saw, kept them far away and unplugged it when he was finished using it.  I think they will do a great job of keeping woodworking in the Lee family.  I know, they are Adkins BUT still half Lee!!!

We had a perfect rain yesterday with 1.1" falling late afternoon and into the night.  That should keep the lawn good for a week and I should not need to water the garden for a couple of days.  With the rain in the past I will fertilize the lawn today and that will do it for another 2 weeks.  Looking forward through the next 10 days we have 70s and then towards the end of that time are in the 80s.  Sounds like great summer weather to me.

Jude and Benedict will go home this morning and then it will be quiet again here.  John and family are spending Sunday night here as I think they will be on their way to the Boundary Waters.  Every time I get to spend time with them I feel like Grandpa has gotten small as he is taller than Elspeth and Audrey and that is IT.  Those darn boys are just getting way too tall.

No it is 5:55 and I think I can get the lawn done before the boys wake up so will sign off.  I have FP made but may wait until I do the lawn which will take maybe 20 minutes or so.
