Recently Dick Martin and Sydney Pollack passed away and now Harvey Korman has left us. Too bad Laugh In isn't on some channel, was a good show and worthy of its shows being rerun. Even if it wasn't but a couple days a week and just a couple shows. There are worse things being shown then Laugh In. I liked some of Sydney Pollacks movies, haven't watched Tootsie in years but like it at the time. Harvey Korman was funny in a lot of things and not just on the Carol Burnett show.

There has been the threat a couple times this week with no results. Hoping we do get some rain today.

Mom has a dentist appointment tomorrow. After it we are going to do a little shopping, mainly for tools, and then come home. Sunday we will go to the laundromat and that's about all we are going to do this weekend.

Another storm rolled yesterday morning and we got about an inch of rain. We got a little this morning as well. Once the clouds rolled mostly away it warmed up, but it was nice most of the day.

We had lunch at Olive Garden, did a little shopping but bought nothing, dropped off some things at Good Will, had some ice cream and then came home. Because I hadn't slept well last night, I ended up taking a nap.

Don't really want to do the yard work tomorrow but it needs to be done.

We had a morning storm roll through and dump three quarters of an inch of rain. It was thundering for some time and there were lots of flashes of lighting. And I forget some day recently we did get some rain but I don't remember which day and how much we got.

This weekend we will be going out and having a nice meal, maybe a little shopping and some ice cream. Not sure if we will go to a movie, but it doesn't matter. Sunday we will do some yard work and not sure what we will do on Monday. Rain is forecast the entire the weekend and we will work around it.

So far we haven't gotten any rain. It has been forecast, but nothing yet. I really need to get my stuff together and start keeping a record of the projected forecast and actual forecast. It would be interesting to see how close or how far off they really are.

The dentist appointment Mom had for Saturday was rescheduled for the following Saturday. Some how they forgot that this weekend is Memorial day weekend. Sounds like someone was asleep at the wheel.

Did some yard work today, mowed and help with cleaning the gutters in the backyard. Was tired and didn't have a lot of energy but I got a lot done. Also got a load of laundry done.

Will not be doing a lot tomorrow, other then resting. Tomorrow I will be plotting out what I will be doing nest week.

Picked up some lovely plants yesterday. We got a very nice Boston fern to hang outside. It looks good with our two wind chimes, hummingbird feeder and our other plant called a fuchsia.

Yesterday, I saw a hummingbird near the fuchsia and then head towards the feeder. That the first time I've seen one since I put out the feeder, second time in total. But that's not all we saw. Out front on our suet holder, which has a sunflower seed suet inside, we saw not once but twice a Baltimore Oriole. I even managed to catch a few pictures of it. When we were coming home from the grocery store we say another Oriole flying off. They might have been the same one but I'm not sure.

Mom had the day off and we went to Topeka do some some research at the research library. We hadn't been in more then a year for one reason or another. Would have liked to have left early then we did because of a headache. We ran into some rain as we were leaving for Topeka. I am not sure of how much we got, forgot to look at the rain gauge. Don't think it was much though.

Will buy some plants tomorrow and I think also get groceries.

Had a nice little rain storm today. Dumped about an inch of rain on us and there were tornados in the area. Typical spring weather in the midwest.

Not sure what we will do this weekend.
