Not sure I'll be able to do much today after yesterday's rain, the yard is still a marsh in places. I really shoud make dry streambeds leading into the drainage ditches, that may help with the drainage problems.... Oh well, what can I expect when I live 8 ft above sea level a quarter mile from the Elizabeth river?

Just to the west  of us they were hit pretty bad by tornadoes yesterday. The damage is unbelievable! I'm very thankful it wasn't here, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all the people affected.

Maybe I'll be able to finish weeding the kids flower bed, it was cut short yesterday because of the rain.

I also need to find a good spot for the butterfly weed I bought the other day. I'm thinking I'll plant it in a pot, and put it into the garden since my drainage is so bad. Same thing with the lavender my mom bought me.

Then there is all the laundry I need to fold and put away, and yet more to wash!!

I wish the day was twice as long, then maybe I'd be able to get more done...

Have spent most of the morning in the kids bed- It's really hard because we planted seeds and trying to pull the weed seedlings without pulling flower seedlings AAARRRGGGGHHHHH. I'm about half done. I'll probably put some more seeds in there, and this time I'll mark them with toothpicks.

May add more later....
