This last storm dropped two inches of rain here. The lawn is soaked so it will take some time to dry before I can mow again.
Walked in a drizzle/mist this morning. It was a little chilly but not too bad.
No good sunrise photo today but I have hope for the sun to appear later today.

It’s a nothing-special kind of morning.
Raining outside so staying inside with Car-E.
Sometimes he wants to escape the house. Since my house is so close to the road, I don’t want him to do that. A flat cat is not a good pet.
When things are quiet, maybe too quiet, I wonder what Car-E is up to. Today he can go on the enclosed back porch. There he has a good view of the outside world. I just hope that is enough of nature for him. Keeping him safe is a main objective of mine.

HOT and DRY! These were the words for the summer of 1988. But one day, while working at baling hay a surprise came from the sky that brightened our day.
Listen and find out what stopped farm work.
Some days you just work but there are times when farm work takes a back seat to a surprise visitor. Even Bob thought it a good idea to stop work and greet our visitor.
Hoping a good surprise comes your way today.

Who opened the kitchen cabinet door?
This is not a big mystery.
Car-E always wants to know what is on the other side of a door.
Because of his curiosity, Car-E has gotten locked in closets and other rooms.
This time he couldn’t fit into the full cabinet.
Next time, who knows.

On the third of July, I joined my son Russell and his family up north. I usually stay away from crowds during Independence Day celebrations, but I went anyway.
On a normal weekday, only a few families would have lunch at this beach. On Independence Day weekend, a crowd showed up.
At least there was enough room for father and son to play in the sand and make enough blocks to build a wall until it tumbled down.
It wasn’t until later that my real fun began when I joined Harrison and ran through the sprinklers in the backyard of the cabin.
As we dried off, everyone played SORRY. The last time I played this board game was many moons ago and I had to be reminded of the rules. Even so by chance, I WON!
It’s good to have fun with family, but best if not so many other families surround you on the beach.
