We have been watching the weather all week and it was supposed to rain all day today which means that I HAD to mow yesterday. It had been a while because we have these pretty little flowers popping up all over the front yard. Donny said they were just weeds, but I think the difference between a weed and an actual plant is in the eye of the beholder and I just loved these flowers.

I will admit that the yard looks better mowed.

I’m super excited that my pumpkin vine is getting so long.

We even have a bloom, which if we are lucky, will one day become a pumpkin.

I had high hopes that I would get the yard mowed and do some weed eating. I just didn’t account for the temperature to be a feels like of 102. After I finished mowing there was no way I was going to get the weed eater out. I guarantee that I would have passed out.

I could literally squeeze out my hat and shirt. But when I woke up this morning it was so nice. The clouds started rolling in and the thunder started booming then the rain came.

The house was dark so I turned on our lamps and just listened to the rain.

There is just something about dark rainy days that make me want to curl up in a blanket with a good book.

Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Maybe next time.

But tonight was the season 49 Survivor premiere. I love Survivor. I always make a quick meal on Wednesdays. Tonight I made calzones.

And, after about a year of trying, Fidget finally comes up to me to get pets. She is such a sweet kitty. My patience has finally paid off.
