RAINY COOL DAY

 UP to greet IR and CA this morning on a rainy day.  I heard it raining hard a couple times when I woke up overnight and there was plenty of standing water this morning.                                                                  I sloshed through chores and came back inside for breakfast with the girls.  I need to go out to market this morning and get pay roll done and any paperwork or banking business that needs to be done taken care of.                                                                                                                                                             We loaded up and headed that way about 10:30. While we were there the rain poured and poured, filling the streets and making driving hazardous as we made a stop at the bank to make the market deposit and then headed out of town. We stopped and grabbed lunch for the girls and came home.  CA slept the entire time we were gone and IR took a short nap to the sound of the pouring rain.   After we all had lunch the girls played while I cleaned out drawers and sorted clothes.  Daughter had a doctor appointment after school so she was late getting here and the girls were happy to see her when she did arrive. It has rained lightly all afternoon but no more heavy showers thankfully. This evening about chore time the sun peaked over the horizon as it set creating a pretty colorful sky.                                                            

The weather this year has been as crazy as everything else that has happened this year and the next week is supposed to be really nice and dry but with temperatures well below average.                                            

And as this chart shows we definitely need some dry weather but I am not complaining as the news is still filled with stories of fires devastating the western states.    I am pretty sure at our house we are much more than 15.57 inches above normal as this measurement is taken at the airport quiet aways from us and on several occasions we have much more rain in our gauge than they have had.                                                                      
I did paperwork and paid bills tonight and then hubbie and I both got an early bedtime . 
Thankful for the blessings of this day. 
God Bless and Good Night
