Rain

Oliver is home and we love rainy days.  Just not leaky roofs.  For some reason Mommy's intuition was telling her that the roof would probably leak again (Mommy still likes to follow her intuition).  Sure enough she saw two drops of water glisten and fall towards our rocking chair in the Bernadette room, five minutes before she needed to pick up Oliver.  We came straight home to cover up the skylight.  The skylight is the problem.

This is from below, but Mommy worked on the roof 

for a bit.  For some reason it wipes her out!  Oliver

helped with passing up bricks for the tarps.  He worked

on his ponds in the rain.  We got so wet!

Mommy saw this pretty flower growing on the vines

along our side fence while she was on the roof. 

Tons of gardening ideas popped into her head

while she was up there.  School first though.  

This kid has so many projects and interests.  He was

trying to hot glue the bags for a pond liner.  Mommy told

him that probably wouldn't be the best idea.  

He brought home his research project on Ireland and

his ancestors.  He got a good grade!  Mommy is

proud of the scholar Oliver is becoming.
