not that anyone would complain mind. In this drought stricken state they will fall on their knees thanking God for it. For whenever two or more are gathered together they pray for rain. At least in this state they do.
And I just bought this nifty little, very lightweight, garden hose. Because when you are a little old lady, pushing 80, you can't be doing with those old fashioned ones that weigh a ton.
It was necessitated by my neighbour coming into my garden and moving my lilies. I've simmered with annoyance for the last two or three days then thought "damn-it, this is something up with which I will not put" in the words of the late, great Winston Churchill. So I pulled them up and moved them to another spot, goodness knows if they will survive all this transplantation. I am going to fill their space though - tomorrow I am going to a garden centre to buy some Russian vine.
Said neighbour will wish she'd minded her own business. But before any of you caution me and say that for my own sake, at least, I don't want Russian vine, let me show you where it will go...
I'll plant it in front of the neighbour's little vegetable garden, to the left of her unsightly outbuilding, then plant a bit more in front of the outbuilding, and her rubbish on the right. And whatever you think of Russian vine you have to admit that it looks quite pretty, and a lot better than the view I've got at the moment. Never mind that it will spread right across the prairies.
I've tried photographing the pretty little chickadees in the garden, but they are very shy - and fast - and it is difficult to get close. This one was in the front garden of the house opposite, and I zoomed in.
I realise just how long I have been in this country when I reflect on the fact that I remember this young man (and he is a young man, I've got sons older than him) when he was elected to Congress in 2011. I met him when he was out on the campaign trail - not that I was hanging out with Republicans you understand, but they go everywhere when they are campaigning. He is now putting himself forward, as you can see, for the US Senate. I like him, I'd probably vote for him if I had a vote although I don't agree with all his viewpoints.
Hilary has got a bigger headline than our monarchy! She had a fall some months ago and it was said that she suffered concussion. Husband Bill revealed a few days ago that she'd had a traumatic brain injury and blood clot, but has spent the last six months working hard to get back to normal, and is now sharper than he is. Which is probably not saying a lot, but I think she is now back to normal.
I don't think now she will be President but not because she is allegedly 'brain damaged'. She is not going to recover, I don't think, from Benghazi.
The Queen is always dying, Camilla's always evil, and Kate is always wonderful (not that I dispute that).
I actually took this photo a few days ago. Did her brother really die in New York, I didn't hear anything about it over here?
Isn't that horrendous. It is the number of children being sent, unaccompanied as it says, across the border from Mexico.
