Watering yes.... lots of rain, no! We're in the same boat, there are still places where the water is running from the previous storms. It just won't quit. I guess we'll see what happens.
I managed to get a bit done yesterday evening, but it was another failed dinner night. I left the farm, made a quick stop at the hardware store to grab some drain pipe, ran to take care of my friend's animals, headed down to the old farm to pick up my paycheck and get the grill cover my ex was giving me, and then had to run back to the farm to pick up the eggs I forgot to take with me, and then finally home. Once I got home I hooked up the drain pipe and was happy that it was JUST long enough to get the water from the gutter away from the garden. I'm praying that fixes the issues with the water draining through the garden. We'll see I guess. I drove down the hill and grabbed the bobcat so that when the BF got home we could put out a bale of hay. Drove that back up the hill and parked it, then grabbed a shovel and bucket to move some old mulch and fill in some of the gaps on the outside of the garden box to try to block the holes where the water was getting through. I guess we'll see what happens with that. I was just finishing up with that when the BF got home. He brought home dinner so we ate and then headed out to put out the bale. The weather had turned to liquid rain again and the horses were all acting goofy so that took a bit of work. We finally got that done and he drove the bobcat back down the hill and I put things away and shut all the gates.
I hadn't gotten a chance to talk to him yet about the beach trip we're supposed to take this weekend. I started thinking about it and realized that its going to take about $125.00 in gas for the trip, plus his mom doesn't want to cook while we are down there, which means about 7 meals eating out. We aren't going to be able to leave until late tomorrow evening, which means not getting there until 10, and then we'll have Saturday and have to drive back Sunday. It is cruise week at the beach, so its probably going to be packed, and I'm not all that interested in hanging out with big crowds, and I don't really want to feel rushed. I really want to just relax. When I noted that it was going to cost us close to $300.00 just to go to the beach for the weekend he seemed to want to rethink the idea. I'm so glad that his cousin has a house, but even with that its still a lot of money for us to put out just on one weekend. He said he would talk to his mom (though he was falling asleep through the whole conversation, so I'm not sure how much he actually heard of what I said...). He texted me today and said he talked to her, but didn't tell me what the outcome of the conversation was... I also realized the up side of us not going is that we can go to his parents house and clean out his room some more without being bothered about anything the entire time. That is a definate bonus. I'm ok either way, I guess, but we'll just have to see what his mom said. I can easily see her begging him to come and telling him she'll pay for things for us. I hate to be a free loader, but I appreciate her wanting to help us, too.
So right now I have no idea just how busy my day will be tomorrow. Some of it is going to depend on how much rain we get and the rest will depend on whether or not I actually have to pack or not.
Tonight I have to go back over and watch the farm store for an hour while S goes out on egg delivery. I think I'll try to get the rest of the herb bed weeded and then start working on the logo on the wall again. I plan to get that done tomorrow while its raining anyway, so a head start will help.
I have no idea how I'm going to get dinner organized but I guess we'll see. I hope that I can get some things fixed before I have to run over to the farm, but I guess we'll see how time goes. I have ground beef thawed, and I've got the ingredients for sheppards pie ready to go, its just a matter of cooking everything. We'll see how much energy I have...
