we had two days of rain got one an half inches and it was cold with snow in the mtns and hail on the beach but here at my house we just got thunder and rain and more rain.  now two days later the grass is still to wet to mow and the ground to muddy so i went to lowes and got lilly bulbs mixed colors and japanes pink lillies and will do some planting this afternoon.  i had to break it off with my friend, don because of his family. they are a nasty bunch.  he is such a sweet man but i am not getting involved with his family. he will have to take care of his own business without me keeps trying to drag me into it and i don't want to have anything to do with his family nonsense.  jungle wife grew up in quito and i remember the volcano erupted and her dad was filling sacks with ash that had fallen all over their home and patio. he said that it was extremely heavy(the ash).  they are all in the states now except junglewife she is still in indonesia but she doesn't get in those earthquates as they are to far away and so is the volcano(krakatoa).
