The Good ~ The Bad

Whelp.  It rained and rained and rained here.  We are getting a slight break this morning, but we are saturated.  Rain returns in a very short bit, and then off and on all day (again).  If we are lucky, the rain will stop come Monday.  Maybe.  Many area festivals are canceling, or have already canceled. 

On the bright side, it's watering the new trees we planted, and flower bushes, but I do have one red raspberry plant to plant too.

The Bad:  Our weekend camping trip was canceled.   It's not camping if we cannot have a campfire, go hiking or biking and/or campfire cook, or even go fishing.  Stuck in the camper would be zero fun (in our current camper anyway).  Yes, we we have an awning, but the rain was just too much, and our camper is small.  It's not a comfortable place to be when it's raining out.  In fact, we had more seating room in our 7 person pop-up camper than we do in our current hard sided camper.  It's just too small for us, and the bed is a queen short, and we are both tall people.

The Good:  We have both agreed we need more sitting space in our camper, and we are both considering getting a seasonal campground when we do upgrade.  Not set on the seasonal thing, as we both love to visit new places.  My husband said, "You better get busy writing that best seller book, so we can buy a new camper."

The Bad:  Our garden is not planted due to rain. Heck, I have flower beds that have not been weeded yet, with flowers to plant too.

The Good:  The garden was tilled, so it is ready when we do dry out.

The Good:  I bought a new plant for beautifying the house.

The Bad:  I want a few more :)  It was in somewhat bad shape, but I repotted it and watered it.  I'll let it grow a bit, but will propagate this one.  

The Bad: I could not find my sunglasses that are made to wear over my glasses.  

The Good:  In the process for looking for them, I found several pairs of reader sunglasses I can now donate somewhere.  Like about six pairs (yikes!).  Actually 7 pairs when I took that photo, but later found another pair, and I have already donated one pair.  They are all sunglasses with various levels of readers in them.  Good grief.  I do have a home for them soon.

The Good:  I went looking for a sticker to mail a friend something for a surprise.

The Bad:  Found more craft supplies I do not use, and they will be donated soon.  Not really bad, but I guess I have more purging to do in small places ha ha ha!  I don't need 100 blank (minus a few), brightly colored blank bookmarks.  Something I had for the kids activities I'm guessing.  The library may get them for the kids programs.

The Bad:  In working online with the state camping reservation system, there are so many campgrounds already booked solid, and their system is very frustrating. 

The Good:  We have been advised of other campgrounds, not on the "state" website that are quiet and have walking trails.  We do not enjoy camping where there are drunks driving around in their golf carts, but we are excited to learn of new places to go camping.

I haven't done a Good/Bad post in a while.  I hope you enjoyed it.  You may be seeing some changes on this blog soon.  Blame it on the rain, ha ha!
