I think I am going to build an ark.

Yes, I really think I should start building an ark. This rain is not stopping but I'm not complaining, we need it. I would like to get my plants into the ground before the summer is over though and I'm not going to do it in the pouring rain so I guess they will wait for another day.

The horses are mad as I put them out at 6 am and then put then back in at 9 am as it was raining and rather cold and blustery and I didn't want them to be cold. They would rather be out but I'm the Mom and they have to do what I think is best. It's like telling your child to wear a sweater as you THINK they are cold but they aren't really. Hopefully it will let up enough so that they can go out again later today for a little while.

We always put them in at night. It's just not safe here with all the coyotes, bear and bobcats around to leave them out. Some people do but we are right on the edge of the woods and see these critters around and don't want to take a chance. I like knowing that they are all snug in their stalls with their hay to munch on during the night.

Noodles and Munchkin love to play together, especially on a rainy day when it's too yucky to be outside. They may look rather vicious but they are really just having fun with each other. I'm so glad that I got two together so that they can play and keep each other company. They are brother and sister.

Mom and I went out and did some shopping the other day. It was one of those days when we hit it just right and found numerous things. I got three pair of sandals for summer, she got two dresses and I got some new tops and one skirt. Don't you just love a good shopping trip?!!!

Now it is Thursday and I still haven't finished this. Went out this morning to the nursery and got some bedding plants. They had a HUGE selection and I just didn't know where to begin. Mom and I got three planters done but the black flies got bad and I didn't want to put on any bug spray as we are going to T's ice cream social at her school tonight and I didn't want to stink! Will do more tomorrow when I don't have anywhere to go.

The sun is finally out and it is beautiful with big puffy clouds in the sky. It is so beautiful here in the summertime, I just love Maine. The only complaint I have is the black fly problem during the month of June. M.I.S.E.R.A.B.L.E.! Thank goodness for bug spray or we would never get outside to do things. They are usually gone by the end of the month.

Noodles thinks he is a dog. He goes walking with Dad and me every morning and evening. He has discovered that he likes to be carried part of the way so last night I was riding Buddy and asked Hubby to put him up with me to see if he would ride. He LOVED it! He rode the whole way, sometimes tucking his head in and catching a cat nap! We will take some pictures next time out. That cat has more personality in one paw then most cats have in their whole body! The other two at the top of the personality list would be Marvin and Vincent! heehee!
