Rain, Rain, Go Away

Here's a photo from Abby exactly one year ago. She's grown up so much since we first met her. She helped me take Angel Food orders today at the Tribal Health Center, so we got to visit her daddy and all his co-workers. She had a great time seeing the native artwork on the walls and in the lobby - she especially liked the painted wolves and the brass statue of a heron. And she loved having lunch with her daddy.

We are having a very rainy day today. Not the downpour kind - it's the annoying drizzly, not enough to use a windshield wiper, but too much not to, kind of rain. But we do need the rain up here. Our fire risk was very high according to our local Smokey Bear sign this morning.

We are getting much closer to having all of our quotes in for the necessary repairs on the new house. It is nice to be one step closer to getting this all wrapped up and very nice to be almost done playing phone tag with all the contractors. Abby and I have been busy thinking of all the fun things we can grow in our gardens - we already have 72 baby perennials sprouting up in tiny pots on our table. It is going to be so beautiful in our new gardens :-)
