Rainy Day Musings

::  Today school was cancelled due to heavy rains and flooding, so we made the best of it.
:: G donned his baby blanket (holes and all) as a makeshift cape for convenient flights around the house, coupled with spirited karate moves
::  We had photo shoots with our new little chicks, Brownie & Kiki
::  Dolly was having none of this America's Next Top Model stuff
::  This one - yep, she's a flirt named Chocolate
::  The hailstorm was incredible and forced us outside to see what the heck was going on around our house
::  The guys put on their muck boots and assessed the damage
::  And started digging trenches to keep the water from inundating our garage and Steve's office.  A moat seems fancy when you're reading about them, but in actuality - not so much!

 ::  Molly kept watch from the water-logged garage
::  Chicken chores still needed to be done and they were a wet flock indeed
::  Grady loved the early-morning call notifying us that there was no school today.  He helped his dad with the outdoor chores and even relocated a soggy gecko back into the lower garden area.  French toast, art lessons, reading, movie time, made-to-order lunch, short-story writing on the typewriter and ice cream were easily checked off of our home-schooling list for the day.

::  Notice that Molly did not want to be photographed.  She was none to happy with all the outside-in-the-pouring-rain-business.  Just to show us who's boss, she slept and ignored us for the remainder of the day.
