What a Rain
I do believe the 3.5 inches of rain we have had today will last us for some time. It began raining at six this morning and as the morning went on it got darker and darker. Dennis weathered the thunderstorm in the patio porch.
We were very fortunate. Many leaf tips cover the acre, but nothing more serious. We did take a drive around town this afternoon and there are quite a few chainsaws going.
I can’t imagine how the fairgrounds fared with the high winds from the north. What I thought was interesting as we made our whip around town and came by the area of the fairgrounds, there was nothing higher than the roofs of the steel clad buildings. No mid-way rides that shone bright above those roofs. It is the sign of the times as the companies of those mid-ways need to bring in quite a bit of money. No doubt they review previous years before signing up.
Tomorrow is Sunday. Dennis announced at the three o’clock coffee break that we were going to take a drive tomorrow. I agreed. There is no set destination, just a “get out of Dodge” kind of day.
