After a mini break between the clouds, the rain has returned and oh my, it has returned with a vengeance. It rained and rained and rained today - I felt like I was stuck slap bang in the middle of a Malaysian Monsoon after having had a fully clothed bath (and not finding a towel to dry myself off with).
I have a very important mission this week and it is crucial that I complete it or serious consequences will ensue:
Connie has left me IN CHARGE of her garden while her and Gerry have gone to Ottawa for the week.[Mother Nature has suddenly put her whole fabulous designer garden world on my shoulders!]
Connie's garden is beautiful. We had a de-brief just before they left ( with wine obviously) and despite the torrential downfall today, I was instructed to 'absolutely water the pots', because 'it is impossible to know how much water they are getting with the rain'. And of course Connie is right and even in the rain that caused me to look like a drowned rat [ to the power of 1 million] her pots actually were a little 'dry'
So there I was watering the gardens in the rain. Poetry in motion.
1. I had to post this photo. Check out Angus' couch today at around 1pm. Mac has even grabbed his own 'quilt' ( I don't know how he did this, but remember that he is a 'special' dog).
2. Domestic Goddess Point:+1
I am starting to realize that I am fabulous at making cookies. Due to ( literally) being rained in today I cooked up a cookie storm for the Inn guests with a plethora of varieties: Chocolate chip, giant raison, yogurt droplets... Again my inability to control portions ensured that I covered the entire dining room table with cookies, although I think Paul and Chris thought it their duty to sample them all before we give them to guests. Multiple times of course.
Note to all: No idea why there is a hammer on the table.
