This is what the middle flower bed looks like now.  You can see Jarrett's candle.
Sunday, April 28, 2013 - I noticed that the last picture I put on the boys' blogger blog was of the sodden yard.  Ten days later, this is what it looks like.  The grass in the front yard isn't particularly lush yet.  Maybe some day???  At least the daffodils are blooming.  I'm thinking this bed desperately needs some mulch.  I did clean out a lot of the debris yesterday because we had NO rain.  ~djb

Here's a photo of the front yard with lots of puddles of rain water.  The flowers are wondering when spring is going to begin.  At least, it isn't snow!

Thursday, April 18, 2013 - Happy Birthday to Chuck!  Wish you were here.  Just before noon, I put the picture of the water in front of the front door up on my blogger blog then went upstairs to watch the news.  Yikes!!  Glad we live on top of hill.  Tommy Skilling said that Aurora got 6.66 inches of rain.  I'm not sure if that is actually a measurement IN Aurora or at the airport -- which is actually in Sugar Grove -- just south of us.  This has been one weird weather year.  see ya later, djb
