Awakening of The Monsoon

We have been having some terrible high temps again. And once again turning the house into a cave.

Luckily this morning was pretty nice with low humidity. I needed to get the yard cleaned up and the trash out to the curb as trash pickup is earlier now because of the heat. Gave the plants and the birds more water and carted the trash to the street. I only had the one bag so just brought that down instead of the can.

I had planned on doing a grocery run but by 8:45 AM it was already in the 90's and the humidity was starting to also climb. So just headed back indoors. I looked up the weather app and found it was going to possible rain today. OH OK. 

I did a little more sewing on the foot stool cover but it still isn't finished. And did a load of laundry. And cleaned up the kitchen counter and did a few dishes.

I read for most of the rest of the afternoon. I thought I heard some thunder but then they are still working on the house next door so figured it was them. Of course Fred wanted out so we went out and then I heard the thunder. By time Fred was done it was raining huge rain drops, which usually means a short hard rain. A wonderful breeze started blowing so we just stayed out and enjoyed it while it lasted which was about 15 min. Once it stopped the breeze was gone and the humidity was so heavy you could have cut through it with a knife. 

Earlier in the morning I had made some tuna salad so it could sit in the fridge and all the flavors melded together. Had a nice little sandwich and some pickles and cucumber slices. 

I will really have to hit up the store as we are expecting heavy rains with thunder and lightening in the later part of the day.

We are having quite a storm as I type this. So glad the monsoons are back. Sure wish CA. could get some much needed rains.

Good Night All
