So far my request for sunshine for my veggies has been ignored. In fact, last night the wind blew like crazy and it rained so freaking HARD that it sounded like a freight train was coming through our house. I woke up several times during the night and worried about my tomato plants, hoping they wouldn’t be crushed by the rain or knocked over by the wind. They seemed to be okay this morning, but some of my snap pea seeds ended up being uncovered by the rain and I had to push them back under the soil. And almost all the beautiful blossoms on the cherry tree are gone. That’s sad. At least we were lucky to not lose power like some others in our area.
It’s supposed to be rainy for the next 2 days, but then taper off. If the weather forecasters are to be believed, it’s actually supposed to be kind of nice by Friday.
B and I saw a huge raccoon this morning, swimming near the shore of the lake. He was definitely bigger than B who weighs about 16 lbs. Mr. Raccoon just looked at us, swam a little further down the lake, then got out of the water and ran into some bushes.
Seriously, raccoons can be kind of scary. About 2 weeks ago, my ex-husband’s dog got into an altercation with one and it bit the heck out of her. I hope this picture doesn't upset any dog lovers out there too
much, but I wanted to let you know, especially those of you who live in a rural setting, how dangerous raccoons can be. Poor little girl. It's for this reason that I always keep B on a leash even when we are just walking around our own yard. I just know he would go crazy and get into a fight with any wild animal he saw.
I hope everyone is looking forward to hump day. For me...Wednesday means only 2 more days of work! YAY!

I love the look of raccoons. They're eyes are cute, but from a distance. I would NEVER want to go toe to toe with one. No thank you. Poor ex-husband's dog. Hope he mends well. Look at those sad little eyes, puppy looks so very heartbroken.
ReplyDeleteHope your weather doesn't wreck too much more havoc on your plants.
I hope B keeps away from them - poor exH's dog, those cones make them look so miserable too!
ReplyDeleteI think your rain might be headed our way...they are flashing tomato warnings across the screen. My tomato plants are sitting in the driveway, so you reminded me I need to go get them and put them somewhere safer! I sure hope it dries out enough to plant them before the end of this week. This will be the latest we have ever planted tomatoes!
ReplyDeletePoor puppy! Thanks for the raccoon warning. They are so cute that it is easy to forget how dangerous they can be, and aren't they also one of the main carriers of rabies?
That doggie looks so sad. Hoping your veggies "weather" THE STORM...GET IT WEATHER THE STORM. I crack myself up.
ReplyDeleteI don't have to worry about racoons...it's rattle snakes and scorpions here in the desert.
I will have a great hump day...thanks!
OMG how is that dog doing?
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it through the storm. Those raccoons look cute but you are so right! Look at that poor little girl. I hope she's better soon.
ReplyDeleteOy, luckily I live in the city. If my dog ever got bit by a raccoon, I'd probably chase that thing away with a broom, hitting it.
ReplyDeletePoor baby, I hope she's better soon.
PS I'm getting SO sick of this rain. It's everywhere.
