I've heard that excuse before too, it's hard to just say no, but....That's why they want to borrow yours, they broke their own. I hope you got more rain than we did out of this last system. We got more cold air than rain... Too bad it wasn't cold enough to kill the aphids and the grasshoppers off though:)

Leslie, the rain we got was a gentle, steady rain, just right for getting everything soaked down good. Temperatures have been mild so I'm in good shape up here!

Don't you just HATE that! We learned a long time ago to not loan out our stuff, either. Because once they get the ok, they're back every weekend, and pretty soon, we lose track of what they didn't return, or what they broke, etc. I have a hard enough time keeping my stuff in good shape (yep, I'm a total slacker!) without others helping me destroy it. :)

Not sure how much rain we got here, since we were in Tomales, but it was really coming down on I-80 on the way over there! Then....we got home yesterday to more brutal, drying winds. I love the rain, but I hate the winds that always seem to come after.

calpat: I learned to take care of my/our stuff when I was a kid because there wasn't money for new. I still carry that with me. Every time my kids come for a visit something gets broken... they just don't watch. "Oh well, just buy a new one." Grrrr!

(Sorry about the small rant.)

Hey Westelle, ranting is a good thing! I let it all get out, generally when I'm alone, sometimes at the offending people. Maybe that is why I'm enjoying longivity! LOL

Brenda, It's a pretty bright day today, but we too are getting wind. It's suppose to get up to 82 temps today, in the meantime I'm taking a day off!
