A Big Hello from Adalaide and little Opal

These are my yard girls.  I move them all around the yard as sometime they are leaning on the fence and other times on the railing like now or under the tree.  They are my greeters.  Really I would like to have manikins all over the yard.  I think they are cool and you could dress them up for the different seasons.  Some people think I am crazy ( like my kids ) but hey, I say just have fun.
     We are having some rain here.  Just a little so far but the weatherman says tonight after midnight is when it will be the heaviest.  NOOOOO!!!!  I do not want that much rain.  I live where I do not have sidewalks or a garage to drive into.  Sometimes I have to try and tiptoe around mud puddles to make it to the car.  Believe me I use to love the rain but now when you have to deal with the mud it's not so special.
     I have been thrilled.  I received the first two seasons of "Downton Abby" for my b-day.  I swear I am enthralled, I'm so into watching that I don't noticed anything going on around me.  It's exactly the kind of movies I love to watch.  I am enjoying them so much, then to find out Shirley McClaine will be staring in them next season (the 3rd season) that my friend is the icing on the cake.   Tootles
