in what may be a family emergency......

one of my sister-in-laws called yesterday afternoon....
she's going to the neurologist today
unexplained lesions on her brain....
i told her not to panic that it could be anything.
and it could be anything from old head trauma (like i got when the fan fell on my head)
to a bunch of other stuff that is mostly benign
however i get the sense that she's worried. although she said she isn't



meanwhile it's still raining here........and i am worried about subsidence ......i am a bit concerned that our little cottage may end up down the hill in a ditch!
the ducks still don't like the rain
i got a fungus on my finger from weeding in the rain
i suppose we all should be glad this isn't snow
i don't want to be hauling buckets in 4 feet of snow (isn't that what the rain is up to now? like 40 feet or something)
1 inch of rain i believe equals a few feet of snow.....we'd be hard pressed to dig out of that

bernie thinks that he can get the big pen sort of finished.... doors and a roof
so that at least come winter (and ice) i will be able to use that instead of down the slope to the big pen
meanwhile with the rain my pens are all a mucky muddy mess..... you'd never know we just cleaned them not even a week ago...

i think we are in for a very snowy winter
