It has not been a pretty week...

but considering the alternative - it was ok.

Both hubby and I came down with the flu, but not before the belt broke on my lawn tractor (the really, really important one that make the blade go whiz-whiz and cut things).  My email was totally messed up due to the incompetence of Frontier who took over Verizon, and hubby's whole computer had a major melt-down.



The good parts?  Ace Hardware had our belt in stock.  My tractor guru was able to put it on with a minimum of fuss. My email is fixed thanks to the assistance of our local email provider, and our computer guru had hubby's link to the outside world fixed and up and running in record time.  Our  flu only lasted 24 hours (I'm still tired, though) and hubby did a fine job of wielding a mop when I didn't quite make the sink (how embarrassing!!!!)  I have three plump perfect eggplants waiting in my garden to be transformed into something wonderful, and Best Buy bacon (not my usual bacon but not bad for the price) was on special for $1.28 per lb at the store. It's rained for a few days so I didn't have to hit the gully and water all the new trees and shrubs, my lavender crop is outstanding, and the library hasn't run out of books.



Slap it all on the scale of life and I'd say the good outweighs the bad by a bunch!

 


I love the view of our back mountain when it's partially hidden by clouds.



Have a wonderful weekend...

Rain in Beautiful North Idaho

you may click on pictures to enlarge...

Rain dripping off our back deck roof. We've had so many dry summers that we get very excited when it rains. There was even thunder - whoeee!

After the rain...

Even wearing their little cages the peonies still drooped.
Misty mountain in the back
Misty mountain in the front. Don't you love the way it smells after rain?
