Well the day started around 6:30 after a 2:30 down pour of rain that sounded like hail stones on the tin roof. We got a little over 3/10ths of the liquid in about 20 minutes. It was difficult to go back to sleep after than abrupt wake up.
We started after the roll out with a few quiet minutes before eating a light breakfast of fruit and cereal and getting ready to head out for worship at Cornerstone Church in Sparta. Pastor B has a great message on being a follower of Christ and the music was awesome as well. Afterwards we stopped off for more fresh veggies and then a quick stop for some lunch meat for sandwiches at Lowes before heading on back to the cabin. It looked like rain from time to time but the skies remained mainly overcast with periods of bright sunshine. I put a pot of raw peanuts on the outside grill to cook most of the afternoon. I was able to burn up some old wood that needed burning as it was infested with ants, slugs and bugs and at the same time boil up them delicious peanuts.
Nancy was busy in the house with some last minute cleaning as our out of town guests are on their way north from Florida. They got a late start and may stop over night as Arianne, our niece is driving from Miami after a stop to pick up GG, Nancy's mother and Betsy her sister who live in Seminole. The last we heard around 8 PM is they were north of Ocala on 301. Savannah is about half way to the cabin from Seminole. We had a lite supper of tacos which turned out to be delicious with some fresh cilantro and sour cream.
After the cleanup I headed out to retrieve the pot of boiled peanuts from the campfire and sampled a few. Just right they were. We got a surprise visit from our mountain mom Helen as she slipped by for just a few moments before the skies opened up in a deluge. I don't think it could have rained any harder and the gardens were flooded in no time. She brought us some excellent lemon dessert as well. It was the first time she has been over to visit us this summer and did she ever bring the rain.
Well its time to sign off until tomorrow as its still raining hard at times, LATER
