rainy summer days

I'm actually a little bit thankful today is rainy. i hate to complain about the heat, 'cause our summers are so stinkin' short, but...today is a nice change of pace. i cleaned all of my floors this morning, and now...i am relaxing a bit while the babe is napping. i do not love mopping, but - I do LOVE knowing my floors are CLEAN. especially today, 'cause i have been very ANGRY at all the little ANTS crawling across my floor the last few days. and since i've mopped, i haven't seen ONE! now, i'm not naive to think they won't be back...but for now, its nice to not see those gross little fella's running across my kitchen floor.

and its been a long time coming, too. we've been traipsing in and out of this house, tracking all kinds of dirt, grass, and who knows what else along with us. and we've had lots of other people doing it too. which i love, but - for today, i'm loving the fresh smell of Pine Sol roaming around in my house. the weekend was crazy. there were 10 people besides us staying in our (tiny) little home (thankfully some of them were sleeping out in a camper trailer in our driveway) - and it was a WET, MUDDY weekend. i can attest to that, because i was out in the pouring rain, muddy, muddy field, along with the rest of our guests at the Cavendish Music Festival this past weekend!! awww, yeah!!! we volunteered with them to sell ice cream - mostly so we could score free tickets to the Lady Antebellum concert! And it was awesome!! totally worth the sopping wet clothes and muddy feet. We love them - we love country music...and it was an easy day's work - listening to all those country bands having the time of their lives in the sheets of rain on our beautiful little Island.

and now...i have a bit more relaxing to do before my babe wakes from his nap. he climbed out of his bed for the first time this week. yikes. so - i'm really hoping he will continue to sleep like the good little sleeper he's been his whole life so far...this mama need that wee little break in the middle of the day to re-coupe.

i sometimes wonder why i'm even writing a blog. no-one else knows about it besides me. but, for now that's the way i want it. bye for now....self.! :)
