Don't Wash Your Car!


The Sun was out, bright and shiny this morning and I went out to piddle in the patch.
The other week, I found some grass seed and some lime that I had left over from last spring and I had left it right in the middle of the front of the garage so that I would deal with it.
Not having my own spreader I went and visited Himself to borrow his spreader to make the make the job easier. Himself informed me that Herself would be entertaining this afternoon to use her tax stimulus grill, and that I could return the spreader when I came back later with my hubby and kid, for burgers and dogs.
I thanked him and went on my way.
Back at the Ranch...
I fill the bin with the lime first and begin the process; figure out just what setting it should be on walked every walkable square inch of my property.
As came back around to the backyard to refill the bin for round two, I see my neighbor in his backyard doing the most obnoxious thing...
He was washing his wife's van!!!!
I yelled at him "Don't Wash Your Car!!! Haven't you had enough rain yet"?
Apparently, more people than my poor neighbor have simply not had enough yet, because as I was returning Himself's spreader, and bringing goodies from our house, I could feel a fine mist on my face. As the burgers and dogs were being pulled off of the stimulus grill, the rain started down in buckets.
I hope you all are happy!

Blame last weekends rain on our neighbors...

They washed the car AGAINST the advice from THE WYMZIE...

I learned the hard way that not listening to her is really not an option anymore.
