Tired of the rain

I know that it is a good, natural, necessary and normal thing, but I am getting so very, very tired of rain. The backyard has LONG grass, but it's been too wet to cut (read - standing water in some parts of the yard, mud in the rest!), the garden remains mostly unplanted, although the lettuce, arugula, spinach and radishes that I did manage to get in the mud are coming up now, and the kids are really getting stir crazy, because it is too wet for them to play outside.

sigh.

Five in a Row Link!

My ds' lessons continue this week, we are reading the book "Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel." On a tip, I checked out youtube to see if there was any good steam shovel footage. There is some GREAT steam shovelage!!

Check it out!
