What Date Is It???

What a crazy month it's been. Germany had a great run during the World Cup, and the team that I was telling everybody would do badly ("Our Captain is out, every 1st string player is injured!!!!!") just clicked and is playing for 3rd place on Saturday. Our flower bed is doing very well, and except for the sunflowers that are looking like death it is a colorful playground for the butterflies. It also seems like everybody on my Blogroll suddenly sprung to life, so I can no longer blame my lack of writing on the fact that everybody else is taking the last 6 months off as well.

In case anybody is watching the news, we are not floating away at this point. The area around our house has not really flooded yet, and our particular house is sitting on a slight elevation and all the roads are draining downhill from us. The backyard is however growing some tall grass, since I am still waiting on a dry day to mow it. We'll see what this weekend brings.
