It is wet

Two weeks ago we had up to 7.5 inches of rain. It was so rainy and wet I couldn't mow much of the yard and between the heavy dew point and moisture in the ground, it looks like I'll wait quite a bit again. That is okay, gas saved I guess. I'll stake the pony out in different areas so he can do some trimming and fertilizing.

Last night through tonight we could get dumped on again. 

That means that I'll be doing indoor stuff for the next couple of days. Our last rainy days, I purged and cleaned and moved furniture. I completely emptied an old hutch and cleaned the windows on the doors and pulled out all the drawers and went through them.

I did find a some surprises, but now it is clean inside and out along with cleaning the wood on the wall behind it. 

I pulled out the washer and dryer from their cubbyhole and cleaned the vent that connects to dryer to the outside including the floor under the machines.  I pulled out the frig and did the same. 

My rainy day project was to start going through the kitchen cabinets and start to sort and find new homes for plates and cups I don't need. 

And then there is always photo projects to do to keep me distracted. One of our photo club assignments is to shoot something in the fall or Halloween Spirit.


That means more Still Life and some of it may be a bit Spooky.

Doing some of this photography may be as close to decorating for Halloween. 





This is NOT scary. 
This was from yesterday's hike with the dogs in our forest.

I brought one of the stick houses I made and thought that it was time to bring Tasha the nice witch back out.



Here are some cute warty pumpkins that were 'pasture' grown by accident because I threw the old pumpkins out into the pasture and the mules planted the seeds for me. They are decorating the porch.
It seems the warty ones cross bred with the long ones...
how fun is that?

Hint. I've been doing this for years and have enjoyed the 
strange looking pumpkins I get each year. No two plants are the same from crossbreeding.
