Well,since we have been having such great weather,Craig and Sebastian decided to sand the deck yesterday.This was a project that they were going to wait to do in the spring.They worked all day long.We had backs that were aching,hands that were sore,you name it(there was a couple of layers of paint that had to be removed).So,when they were done they and us "girls" admired the beautiful job.The staining of the deck was for tomorrow's work.....well,Craig went to work and a few hours later it started to rain.Now, for those of you who don't know what the weather is like out here,it's dry...NORMALLY.And when it does rain, it's the kind of rain that's just like a sprinkle here and a sprinkle there and it's done.It's never enough to keep your grass or plants alive.You have to water on a daily basis.Now,mind you,we did have some unexpected rain back in September when we had family visit.It rained the whole weekend they were here...again..not NORMAL. But,last nights rain topped it off.It was the rain of the year!! It rained for about 12 hours straight and the power went out in the middle of it all.We actually had a puddle or two in our driveway.Besides all of that,we also had two very sad men this morning.Craig and Sebastian's hard work was all wet now.So,we are hoping that the deck will dry up and we will have a day of dry warm weather to finish up this project.I thought that I would share a picture of them working side by side and of course a picture of "The Puddle".
