As I'm sure every one knows how hot it has been here already. And in a bad drought. Then they started talking about monsoons starting date of June 15, 2018. OK soooo. Then it was the storm off Mexico that was going to bring us rain by Wed. nope nothing, Thur. 50% chance, nope nothing. Friday 70% this morning it was very grey and nasty high humidity. Then about 11:30 am I heard rain and then nothing. But eventually it started to rain a little more and now it was time to get excited! Then it finally rained steady but light for a couple hours. Of course when you haven't had rain for months that is the best way for it to rain so there will be no flooding and giving the ground a chance to absorb the water. It has since stopped but they say more to come tonight. We shall see. Oops its raining again.
Other than that haven't really done much. I did cook up a variety of veggies and today made a big pot of veggie soup. Yes I eat soup all year round I love the stuff.
Wed. my daughter Debbie stopped by after work and we had home made tuna wraps and had a great visit. I finally gave her a gift card for her birthday gift and her birthday wish was for donations to Kids on Their Own and I donated to that as well for her birthday. Debbie had 4 sons she raised on her own due to dead beat dad. So her house was always over flowing with kids. Some that had no place to go and her home was open to them until they could get connected with this program. To this day these kids are still in her life even though her boys are all grown and out of the house. All these kids are into basket ball and Debbie almost never misses a game even when they just get together every Sunday, Debbie is there cheering them on. Great Job Debbie!
Good Night All
Hope you get more rain there will sure helps things out. Nice to see your daughter Debbie and take care of her birthday and the donations as well. She sounds like a very busy lady.
ReplyDeleteHi George,
DeleteIt rained all night and all day today it was wonderful. Debbie is a very busy lady
we sure could use some rain, glad you are getting it now and Im sure the rain cools it off some too...humid is the word here too. I've done nothing but work my butt off since returning home!
ReplyDeleteHi Sondra,
DeleteThe humidity was very high but the temp was only in the low 80's. We sure needed this rain but we need lots more. Hope some comes your way soon
I figured you'd be out dancing in that rain. We even got some of that here in Jackpot, NV. First rain we have seen in so many months. It was wonderful. But they are predicting a dry summer in Montana and high fire danger again. That does not make me happy. They had lots of snow, LOTS of snow this winter but all that new growth is going to dry out. Hope your rain is helping with some of the fires in AZ.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie,
DeleteIt rained quite a bit and it rained up in the White Mountains for a few day already so that should help. But yes your right lots of snow brings lots of growth which dies off and is a problem when there isn't any rain. Hope you get some rain in Montana soon.
It's a good thing that Debbie is doing helping those young people.
ReplyDeleteJust getting caught up.
Don't give up on your camping. Maybe a small trailer would fit the bill.
Glad you had no damage.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Hi Rick and Kathy,
DeleteThose kids love her so much. When she was moving they all showed up and they loaded that truck and neat as can be and got her all settled in within a few hours.
I'm glad you are back online again. I have been following along but I didn't know if a comment would reach you.
Every time I think I am ready to buy a small camper something around here breaks and there goes the money. Hope next spring things will work out.
