Rain

Raining this morning and expected to continue today and tomorrow.

I slid on the stupid slate at the bottom of the deck stairs and hurt my left shoulder.

Poor Jett was brave and trotted outside to take a leak in spite of the rain.

The electric company was working this week on our street. Asplundh did tree maintenance earlier.

Between taking care of Jett and yardwork, Ron and I have been too tired to participate in evening activities.

We spotted a sign for the farmer’s market, which was a pleasant surprise, and stopped in for sourdough bagels, which are usually sold out, homemade jams, apricot and pistachio biscotti, scones and eggs. The vendors were happy to see us, the rain seems to have discouraged the usual traffic.

Had bagels and hardboiled eggs for lunch and vanilla pudding that I made this morning for dessert from milk that was part of senior center and food project lunches.

Jett had his first local grooming session. We got a recommendation from our neighbor’s mother and the salon did an excellent job with him.

They found 8 ticks; concerning, even though some were dead. I hope the flea and tick med is working but in any event, it should be easier to spot them now that his fur isn’t so thick.

The groomers did a fabulous job and he looks great. They said they like him and want him to come back, he was so well behaved. He was ravenous when we got home, hadn’t eaten this morning. I hope he’s not going to be sick.

Rain stopped a short while ago. Trees have started to leaf, becoming quite pretty with the new green and the gorgeous fruit and magnolia trees.
