You call that rain...

I got up around 8am this morning. Buster decided to sleep with the boy all night and I think they both enjoyed it. I finally woke Kyle up at 9am. I headed out to water the plants. The last few days of high temps are taking a toll on the plants. The weather man is calling for rain some time today. After breakfast, we headed to Pep Boys to get a battery for the jeep. It cost $103 dollars, but has a 3 year warranty with it. We then headed to Lowe's to get some much for the banana plants and an extension for the socket set. Once home, we tackled the battery first. It was sure a lot easier to put in than to take out. And the socket extension was a blessing. Kyle aired up the tires and we took it for a test spin around the block. Next we had to put mulch around the banana plants. First I had to scrap the grass off around each of then, then put down the weed barrier, then the mulch. By now the sun is a blazing and we are done for the day. I came in and took a shower and fixed lunch. I had a hair appointment at 3:15pm. Kyle took advantage of watch TV while I was gone. After I got home, Kyle began working on the downstairs floors. He has the thing about not being able to vacuum when he is by himself. He is afraid he will not hear someone if they break in. Guess all kids have something like that. He fixed tacos for dinner with very little help form me. He did a good job and they tasted great. He even baked some cookies also. They were the pre-made kind, but a step in the right direction. After dinner the clouds rolled in and rain was on it's was. I was hoping to get a lot so I would not have to water in the morning. We after about 20 drops it stopped and the sun came out. You call that rain. We then watched a the movie Law Biding Citizen. I had seen it before but he had not. After that, we watched the Phillies will a close game and saw Jimmy return to the line up. We have Rylee tomorrow for a couple of hours so I have to get up early and get watering and shower done before 9am. So I am off to bed. Today's picture is of another new day lily. I think there are 2 plants that have not bloomed yet. The flowers only seem to last a day, so I have to really watch then last 2 for blooms.
