Enough of the rain already!

I don't know about you, but seriously I have seen enough rain for about 6 weeks now! I was so excited to have an extended summer vacation this year so I could get some serious painting and staining done and not a damn bit of it is done. I STILL DON"T EVEN HAVE MY GARDEN IN!! All my plants are sitting on my porch waiting to get into the ground. This woman needs some serious SUN and now!
I worked out in my yard all day today, pulling more little tree's out and creeping charlie, good lord where did that stuff come from, it is all over the place and weeds I have never had before has found there way to my yard. I am on serious patrol to get rid of the weeds. I had beautiful lush green grass growing and this year it is full of weeds, I am pretty sure the weed control I have put down has not even touched them this year. First free chance I get and the sprayer is coming out for some massive eradication! 
A week ago after much research and even a few phone calls I was told I could easily move the honeysuckle vine. Pretty much was  told there would be a fat chance in hell I would cause it any harm. Well I have killed it! I dug it out so ever gently and moved it to its new spot along the back fence watered it faithfully and yep! it is a goner! I have it on my list now to replace it with a new one!
I hope I have found the pond leak, let's hope it was the spot and is fixed. My summer visitors are back. ever had that feeling someone was watching you? Well today I am busy pulling trees out from my new farm and I had this feeling I was being watched. Wasn't the dogs 2 of them were lounging on the back steps, the long hair one Zinny was of course rolling around in the freshly cut grass something else for her to carry into the house , Rupert was barking at the non existent squirrel he thought was up there in the tree, and the others I am sure were in the house sleeping on the couch. The fish were all swimming around in the pond and then I spy with my eyes 2 little eyes peeking out of the water staring at me! Yep the frogs are back! I knew I heard them but haven't seen them till now. Wonder how many free loaders I will have this year?
I sure hope we all wake up to some beautiful sunshine, I have so much to get done out there so please let the sun shine!

The honeysuckle vine after I moved it, it looked so good and now it is as brown as can be!
