It feels like summer. Cold weather seems so far away yet there is still a bag of pellets near the store just in case. The bees are out buzzing among the flowers making a noise that can be hear from a distance. Good to see them and hear them around.

I seem to be running a streak of things breaking and rebreaking. The post about the leak was a new break but hitting on the list it takes on more significance and AGGGG factor. The struts on the old car replaced 6 months ago at an obscene amount, one side breaks again a month or so later and needs to be replaced and a couple of weeks ago the other side starts to make noises again and I have to make time to take the car in and get that fixed. Then the self propel on the lawn mower breaks, get fixed and return and after one mow breaks again. Send it back and yesterday while calling to find out when its coming back as the lawn is growing quick, I have the discussion of "well you know these things are built that strongly and can't always be fixed............." Why didn't they tell me before putting in a new blade and doing a full tune up". I'll continue that discussion tomorrow when the mechanic is in.

So I am thinking that I need to rid the place of bad spirits, if that is what is going on. Do a few chants and smoke the buggers out and perhaps I'll get a few more ants in the process. In the mean time I'll enjoy the rain and be thankful that it is really it that is preventing the lawn from being mowed.
