Poor Des Moines et al Iowa

Who would have thunk it... evacuating downtown Des Moines. I hope Mary Helen and everyone is o.k. She's not too near downtown. The flooding is not 31 ft like Cedar Rapids. Not to mention flooding and tornadoes. When I last visited with M.H. she drove out to show me the flooding then. This is their 140 yr high. see: demoinesregister.com Too bad Gwen and Michael don't know Mom's family there.


To think I almost bought a house here in the 100 yr flood plain.
Not to mention earthquakes.

Global Warming it's here...

And then IN. Oye Ve

Go hybrid



Despite a moment of insanity when I woke up during one of my numerous trips to the loo, I thought about booting up the laptop to go some view foils to laminate on Mon for my summer school classroom WALLS. Then exhaustion or sense or a bit of Leno at 2 I went back to sleep till 9.

Lacy was staring at me waiting for her treat. After a few minutes I got up, turned on the news, made some rice chex, boiled some corkscrew pasta for a cold salad and went out on the deck after turning on the front sprinklers to pull dried out vegetation from nasturtiums for the compost bin and put in stuff from the veggie bin. I cleaned out the refrig a bit, did some dishes, cleaned the burner where pasta water boiled out and finished my pasta with celery, mayo and some celery seed, red pepper and pepper. I took out the trash, turned off the sprinkler, planted sun flowers and peas and put out a un turned over full water bowl for the outside stray cats.

I think the black one is Diablo who I tried to socialize 2 yrs ago. He ain't having any but let's me get 6 ft. close. It took 2x as long as the girls to touch. He was just coming around when I gave him up. I guess he didn't get adopted and was put back out after spaying.

He fights with Brutus.

Off to the grocery and to get h20

oops forgot the water, cucumber and peppers I'll stop tomorrow after the farmers market.

I got some more flower seeds. maybe this time I'll water them.
LOL

Stoped for Chinese on the way home.

As soon as it cools off I'll go walking. Ya can't just take pills you have to move the body.

I've only got one and I made it like this. Now to unmake it like this.

Flag day....happy happy
