The Curse of the Fence

We have lived in this house for over 25 years.  Mmmm, maybe not that long.  Since Amy's 30th Reunion from the Naval Academy is this September...had she been out 5 years when we came here?  This gets confusing.  Well, no matter.  We have been in the house for over 20 years and we have never had a problem with the fence. 


If the dogs wouldn't chase everything, maybe we could forgo the fence.

Yesterday, we had a huge rain storm.  I am not sure it was predicted ~ and a summer rain storm that lasted all day?  Anyhow, some places got 14 inches of rain.  We got about 4.  That is a lot of water.  And, it was a soft calm rain.  No wind, nothing major.  And, a tree fell on the fence. In the same place as the first time.  That is 3 times this summer the fence has been knocked down.  I do hope that is the charm!  Long Fence is going to be our new BFF's!!!!!

And, did you know that message and massage can be confusing on text messages?  But funny.

It is hard to believe that here it is, the middle of August.  The Orioles are in first place in the East.  The Redskins had their first pre-season game last week and pulverized the Patriots. And, all the sports news guys are saying good things about the team.  It would make Dad very happy!

Also, the other day I was doing yard work and while I was taking a break, sitting on a camp chair in the garage, I was talking to Amy on the telephone and I saw a smallish snake, about 18 inches long, gliding across the driveway about 3 feet from me.  It moved along going towards the French peoples house next door.  I wish I had my camera.  Then, I finished my conversation with Amy and went to move the hose and put it away and almost walked on top of a BIG black snake!  That was a big surprise!  He was easily 3+ feet and not skinny!  I let him go on his way too.  I hadn't seen any snakes all summer and whammo. And, still no camera.  

Enough rambling.  More Later.
Love, Leslie

PS ~ I know you can't tell, but I am writing this on the new computer.  This is really for Amy's benefit.
