Forgot to mention that we're planning to grill a turkey on Monday, if you want to come over to partake of that.

Morning - "Inside Man" was very good, we enjoyed it as well. We also saw 'Firewall'. That's a good rental, too.

Heh, ours were open too but it didn't rain long enough or hard enough to cause any concern. You've received quite a bit more rain that us this season, our turn. :-)

Well, the maize maze could use some of that rain you keep talking about :~)

Dogs are sleeping in, but feeling good. Gidget got some extra Rimadyl so she's not as stoved up as she might have otherwise been after such a jaunt.

Rainwater is better.

Hmmm.... Well, you could spray it straight up over the pots, make rain that way :~)

That's a lot of bottled water. It would be easier if it just rained.

Well, the quarter inch we got probably would have helped but it wouldn't take much rain to turn the maize maze into the mud maize maze. :-)

Indeed it is, we collect rainwater and store it; also use the dehumidifier water and air conditioner water. Although the last two aren't 'free' like the rainwater, it all helps.

Well, I'm on a well, so our water isn't chlorinated... I guess it's just stored rainwater :~)

Well, after what we went through yesterday, we decided mud is better than dust... at least you don't have to breathe the mud!
