Life here in the little house in the little woods continues car-less. The insurance appraiser saw my car Thursday but we haven't heard from him. He did have to wait until yesterday for the complete police report so I don't expect a decision before Monday. In the mean time, we are supporting the Affordable Taxi company with 'necessary only' trips to town ($15/round trip). Boy, you never know how much you rely on your car out here in the country until you don't have one. I'm thinking of asking anyone interested to consider coming over to check out the gardens with a couple of gallons of drinking water as a hostess gift! (We have plenty of running water but have you ever tried drinking sulfur water? I can brush my teeth with it but actually drinking it?? Besides, it makes lousy coffee. And the reverse osmosis system doesn't produce as much clean water as we had expected.)
We had a fairly strong thunder storm last night. Jeff had just built a fire in the outside pit and we were trying to fight the mosquitoes when the thunder and lightening started. I chickened out and went inside but Jeff stuck it out until the downpour started. (When he went out to check the garden after the rain stopped Jeff found the fire was still burning! The grate was protecting it enough to keep it alive.) We ended up watching RED on TV and except for a couple of scenes (i.e the lady who was following them with an arsenal of weapons....) it wasn't as good as I had remembered. Hope RED2 is better.
The heat/humidity has seemed to have broken and it's not too bad today. Of course, with all the rain last night the mosquitoes got a head start on us. Maybe I can get some knitting done today if I stay inside. Jeff found a MacGyer marathon on this morning and those 80's styles are kind of funny. Remember those unisex layered haircuts??
