T Day Again

Hi everyone.

 It's been a very humid Monday here, and last night we had a terrible thunderstorm. We just happened to have what was an empty bucket outside and this morning we could measure the amount of rain that fell into it. We got 4 inches of rain in that one short storm. And it sure played a lot of havoc.

Half of the basement needed to be mopped up this morning, and we lost a lot of our driveway.

Our driveway is packed gravel, as is our road, and these canyons are a good 5 inches deep. The storm work me up, but I didn't realize how heavy the rain was as we had our bedroom AC running and it is pretty loud. Looks like there's another house project on our horizon.

And it is Tuesday, so I need to share my drink with you. Stop by Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to join in for some drink related fun and see what the T Gang has been up to.

Last Friday evening the hubby and I went out to a local Asian restaurant for dinner, and although usually we don't order fancy drinks, we decided to this time. I had one called a Pearl Harbor.It had melon liqueur and pineapple juice in it and it was really refreshing on a warm evening.

 One drink was enough for me so then I  switched to a glass of ice water.

I can't show you my dinner as I forgot to take a photo of it.

And I want to remind you we have a new challenge starting at Try It On Tuesday so be sure to stop by and check it out.

Have a great T day everyone. And thanks for visiting my blog.

How to Do Art at the Lake

Cool morning sun Saturday at the Lake when I went to work checking for invasive species on boats coming in or out of the state boat ramp.

With a 5 hour shift, I finished reading my book

Which was almost finished- just 50 pages left which I devoured.

And I just started my next book.

And I visited with my sweet hubby who brought me breakfast 

Here he is with the fugitive- our dog- who wasn't hooked (the sweet hubby's calling when he insisted the dog would stay by us) and the dog wandered off-all they way through someone's yard into the town beach. I sent Dave to retrieve him since 1) it was his idea not to hook the dog and 2) I was working and waiting for a boat.

And then I painted pages for my artwork.

Look.

and

and one more out of my bunch

I will cut these up for embellishments or for backgrounds or something.

Had to do all of these on my lap, as I was sitting in a lawn chair.

And I had to put them down when boats appeared- and

a lot seemed to-of course, because I was painting.

I finally remembered to pack a pad of watercolor paper and some paints.

I've had this set forever as well as the water brushes. They are the coolest inventions for painting away from a cup of water. Plus at the lake I could just walk over and fill them up in the lake. 

I am so clever sometimes!

HA! HA! HA!

Have a fab rest of your day!
