Well the rain has been constant for what seems like days. At least the temps aren't really cold but the dampness requires heat on in the cabin and the dreary overcast foggy skies are not what I enjoy about the mountains especially this time of the year. The dull skies hide the beautiful changing of the leaves which are close to peak and may just be gone as the grounds are covered as well as the roads with fallen leaves. The fallen leaves on the parkway were so evident with sticking to the road because of the rain it looked like tracks in the snow, oh well. We may even see some of that as it supposed to turn cold towards the weekend with 30's once again.
I started the day with a 7'ish roll out on Sunday morning to the sound of rain beating on the the tin roof. Speaking of the roof I determined the wetness on the drain pipe was from condensation with so many people showering, doing dishes and washing clothes when we have company. All of this rain never produced a drop of wetness on the vent/drain stack which I'm thankful for. We headed out to Cornerstone for corporate worship around 9:30 in the rain and noticed the parkway was covered in fallen leaves. Looking into the woods was nothing but yellows, oranges and reds on the leaves that were still attached. The transformation from the deep green foliage of the trees to the bright colors happen suddenly and almost overnight. Such a beautiful sight.
After church we met up with Jake, Katelyn and baby Skylar at the pizzeria for a delicious lunch and very filing which lasted the rest of the day for us until about 6'ish when I popped corn the old fashion way on top of the stove. I settled into the TV for a change while Nancy did her social media updates and perusing. We did watch most of the Ray's game which was a close one but they won 2-1 over the Astros. They play the best of 7 games to see who plays in the series later this month. They play again today at 4.
Well yesterday was number 2 grand daughter Annsley 13th birthday birthday. Both she and Ava have reached those teenage years and both are exceptional outstanding students and athletes. Ava with basketball and Annsley with gymnastics. We are proud of all our grand kiddos and looking forward to seeing them in November, LATER
