Today, Dec. 31., I tried to dig out the trench in front of the house- again. Our house is on a slope and when we get more than a gentle rain, the water pushes up against the foundation. Sometimes it gets higher than the foundation and then we have flooding. Tomorrow and Wednesday we’re having a “Winter Event”, so any way I can get that trench dug so the water will flow to the sides of the house and down into the back is a good thing. Earlier we went for some Thai food (DH had a hankering for something oriental) and stopped in at Sprouts (grocery store that caters to the health food crowd.) I picked up some elderberry cough syrup and a tin of Rescue Remedy pastilles. I’ve never had them before. Tonight we’ll probably have the last of the shrimp and okra gumbo. Yum.
Happy New Year, everybody and be safe! See you in 2019!
