I knew today was going to be a washout, complete with cold and rain and lets throw in some more rain! No I didnt have to "Trust" the weather folks this time, lets say that I could just feel the change coming. We have had several days of hot (some extreme temps too) and dry weather. So dry in fact that we were starting to see those little dust tornado's in the parking lot! Late yesterday afternoon I felt the change coming! The air was so moist and heavy it was going to rain any minute (yeah right). So I put away my trowel grabbed the camera, snapped some pics and got ready to go shoppingf, after all if I cant be in the garden I might as well be at the mall! So we trekked to IKEA to buy some new office furniture. They actualy have office furniture thats made out of solid wood that cost under $1000! So we had an adventure at IKEA, that store is pretty awesome (once you figure out the little arrows on the floor and to follow them is your only route of escape!!!). We loaded up DH's truck with boxes of desk and overhead cabinets--the office is going to be GORGEOUS! Then once done at IKEA we ventured off to DICKS Sporting goods to buy a good badminton set--$99 bucks but it'll last all summer--we love that game so much! Then I spied the clearance BRUINS gear!!!!! Oh somebody pinch me I must be dreaming--so I filled up the cart with a bunch of black n' yellow. Also got a bunch of clearance tops for DD. After all that spending and still no rain.....I was going to give up hope for rain...

I woke up this morning to torrential downpours--water was gushing from yard to yard. The ground had been so dry that the water had nowhere to go! Its been raining ever since, the temp hasnt gone past 55 all day. I swear the grass is greener already and we have rain in the forecast for the whole week ahead! I am glad I snapped those pics yesterday, so at least I can remember the sunny afternoon in the yard.

Here is a cardinal that was feeding....

This is the first dill blossom!

I just LUV when Dragon Flies visit--or as my daughter used to say when she was little "Dragon Fly just stoppin by"!

I bet I'll have 1000 Daylilly blooms by the time the season ends--they are just starting now.....STELLA, S T E L L L A ...

It may have rained all day but I still have yesterdays sunshine! I must also admit that I havent minded being housebound today at all!!! The office furniture is just about completed. I had the opportunity to cook three big meals for DH and kids on this wonderful Fathers Day. Im on a roll with wins....First the Red Sox smoked the Cinci Reds 9-0!! Then Dale Jr WINS at Michigan--thats the first win in 74 races--I almost balled I was so happy to see him win again--its been a long road for him and he has stayed the course--I am so proud to be a Jr fan!

Of course i am holding my breath still though coz my Dear Celtics are playing in game 5 against the LA Lakers, they could take it all and become the new world champs tonight!!!!! Do I dare to exhale!!!

This rainy day has been anything but dreary! Talk to ya soon, Jo
