Ok. I’m officially sick of the rain. It has rained the entire day here. Sometimes hard. Crazy me went to Costco today–in the rain and wind. My car kept getting knocked out of the lane as I drove on the highway. My dog doesn’t want to go outside, so he’s holding it all in. I hate to see what he produces tomorrow. At least when I ordered him to “pee,” he did. One less mess I have to worry about. This heavy rain makes my yard into a shallow lake. It also means that Jasper, the Border Terrier, finds the mud. He’s much lower to the ground than my Great Dane, so he tends to bring in belly mud. It has rained off and on for a least a week, so the yard has been too muddy to mow, so, of course, the grass is tall. Jasper’s legs disappear in the grass.
